The Pope named three clergy and five laity from eight different countries, including four women, on the panel. Seven are either European or from the US.

Announcing the appointments, Vatican spokesman, Fr Frederico Lombardi said the appointments reflect the late Pope John Paul II’s statement that “there is no place in the priesthood or religious life for those who would abuse the young.”......
