Pope Francis has vowed to confront clergy sex abusers with 'the wrath of God'.
He made the remarks during a mass in the Vatican City to conclude his extraordinary summit on preventing clergy sex abuse.
Francis also pledged to end the cover-ups by their superiors and prioritise victims of this 'brazen, aggressive and destructive evil'.
Francis delivered his remarks before 190 Catholic bishops and religious superiors who were summoned to Rome after more abuse scandals sparked a credibility crisis in the Catholic hierarchy and in Francis' own leadership.

And he offered a global review of the broader societal problem of sexual tourism and online pornography, in a bid to contextualise what he said was once a taboo subject.
The Jesuit pope also stated in the mass that the vast majority of sexual abuse happens in the family.
The Jesuit pope claimed the vast majority of sexual abuse happens in the family.
But he said the sexual abuse of children becomes even more scandalous when it occurs in the Catholic Church, 'for it is utterly incompatible with her moral authority and ethical credibility'.

'We need to recognise with humility and courage that we stand face-to-face with the mystery of evil, which strikes most violently against the most vulnerable, for they are an image of Jesus,' he said.
Francis summoned the bishops from around the world to the four-day meeting to impress upon them that clergy sex abuse and cover-ups are not just a problem in some countries but a global problem that threatens the very mission of the Catholic Church.
'Brothers and sisters, today we find ourselves before a manifestation of brazen, aggressive and destructive evil,' the pope said.
He offered an eight-point pledge of priorities going forward, calling for a change in the church's defensive mentality and a vow to never again cover-up cases.
Victims, he said, must take centre stage while priests must undergo a continuing path of purity with the 'holy fear of God' guiding the examination of their own failures.
'In people's justified anger, the church sees the reflection of the wrath of God, betrayed and insulted by these deceitful consecrated persons,' he said.
Australian Archbishop Mark Coleridge delivered the homily, pledging to "bring justice and healing to survivors of abuse," ITV reported.
He said: "We will listen to them, believe them, walk with them, we will ensure that those who have abused are never again able to offend, we will call to account those who have concealed abuse."
The Archbishop of Brisbane added 'we will educate all our people in what safeguarding issues requires' to ensure the 'horrors of the past are not repeated.
He added that 'the Church is a safe place for all, a loving mother especially for the young and the vulnerable'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
