A visiting cardinal says the Catholic Church in the US is going to extreme measures to protect children from sexual abuse.

One of America's most senior cardinals, Theodore McCarrick, says the church's zero tolerance approach to sexual abuse has virtually eliminated the problem.

The policy includes educating children to be on the alert for untoward behaviour by adults and the Church taking immediate action once a complaint is made.

The cardinal says he hopes other groups will follow their lead.
