Archbishop of Canterbury to meet Pope in Rome next month

From The BBC-

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is to meet the Pope next month, Lambeth Palace has confirmed.

The head of the Church of England will visit Rome from 14 to 16 June as part of a human trafficking and modern slavery initiative he launched with Pope Francis last year.

The pair, who met in 2013 in a private meeting, will meet on the final day of the archbishop's trip.

Meanwhile, Pope Francis this week completed a tour of the Middle East.

Speaking to reporters during his return flight, he announced he was to meet a group of sex abuse victims next month, after he compared the "ugly crime" to performing "satanic mass".

He said he would show zero tolerance to anyone in the Roman Catholic Church who abuses children.
