.Francis also said that three bishops are under investigation by the Vatican for abuse-related reasons, though it wasn't clear if they were accused of committing abuse itself or of having covered it up.
.The meeting with victims marks the first for this pope. He disclosed the plan in a press conference aboard the papal plane returning from a three-day trip to Jerusalem.
.Francis also said he would travel to Sri Lanka and the Philippines in January 2015.
.He concluded his three-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land Monday by visiting Israel's holiest and most poignant sites, a day after a visit to Bethlehem upset Israelis because of the support he appeared to voice for Palestinian independence.
.At Israel's request, the pope prayed at the Victims of Acts of Terror Memorial and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, where he kissed the hands of six Holocaust survivors who recounted their anguished stories.
. "Never again, Lord. Never again," the pope declared. .Earlier in the day, he prayed at Jerusalem's holy Western Wall, where Jews from around the world visit to pray and leave written prayers. The Argentinian-born Francis placed a note with the text of the Lord's Prayer written in Spanish in the wall.
.Before placing the prayer, or kvitel, between the stones of the wall, the pope was shown a model of the site of the ancient Jewish temples. The Western Wall is a remnant of the Temple retaining wall and the Temple Mount (known by Arabs as Haram al Sharif) sits above the remains of the Jewish Temple. The Mount is the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam.
