Abuse victim responds to Pope's apology

Margaret McGuckin
Margaret McGuckin was abused as a child in the Sisters of Nazareth orphanage in Belfast.

A victim of institutional abuse within the Catholic church said an apology by the Pope for the "unspeakable crimes" committed by Catholic priests who sexually abused children did not go "far enough".

The pontiff made his comments during a service at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday morning.
He said the scandal had brought "shame and humiliation" on the church.
