Pope Benedict Arrives in U.S.

As a Catholic, I am glad that Pope Benedict XVI addressed this issue head on. It will take more than words and apologies, to heal the scars caused by the actions of some priests towards the victims. I think today was a step in the right direction for my church.

"It's difficult for me to understand how it was possible that priests betrayed in this way their mission to give healing, to give the love of God to these children. We are deeply ashamed, and we will do what is possible that this cannot happen in the future."

"It is a great suffering for the church in the United States, and for the church in general, and for me personally that this could happen,"

"To repair the damage, priests and bishops have to be vigilant, use the judicial system, where possible, and better screen applicants to the priesthood,"

"It is more important to have good priests than many priests."
-Pope Benedict XVI
