pope francis is launching what some catholics are describing as the most ambitious project of church reform in 60 years. a two year consultation exercise of every parish around the world begins this weekend and could tackle issues such as women's ordination, married men as priests and blessings for gay couples. it's effectively a giant consultation exercise. pope francis is asking every diocese around the world to meet and to discuss solutions to the issues they are facing. and so, in terms of the processes, you say what's going to happen is those local discussions will then be fed through to national bishops who will then filter through those ideas next year before taking their suggestions, those solutions to the problems they face, to rome in 2023. i think there are a couple of reasons why this is significant. first of all, the catholic church is a very hierarchical institution, so cardinals sit above bishops who sit above priests, and so this is a real shift towards consulting lay and ordinary catholics as to the church's future direction. the second reason why this is significant

ross: the inquiry was commissioned by the french catholic church in 2018 which spent more than two and a half years combing through records and spking to witnesses and victims. they found a total of 3000 abusers, buthe report says this is probably an underestimate. here is the head of the inquiry. >> out of those in france aged over 18, 260,000 were sexually assaulted by clerics, priests, or nuns as minors. if this is added to the victims of laypeople, employees or lunteers in religious education, or establishments or youth movements, the number of victims increases to 330,000. in total, violence against minors in the catholic church represents 4% of the total number of sexual offenses in france. ross: while most of these cases are too old to prosecute, the inquiry is calling on the church to take responsibility. we got a reaction from the pope via a statement from the vatican that says he felt pain learning the details of the report and his thirst -- his first thoughts are for the victims and gratitude for their courage in coming forward. he hopes and recognizing these events can take
