Catholic leaders from around the world are in Rome for a Vatican summit to find ways to root out paedophilia in the clergy.

Bishops from 100 countries and the leaders of 33 religious orders are attending the four-day meeting, which is also being attended by Marie Collins, an Irish survivor of clerical abuse.

The conference will also launch a child protection centre in Germany to fight sex abuse by the clergy in the Church worldwide.

Victims' groups have slammed the summit as a PR stunt.
