Pope Benedict said on Tuesday the crisis of sexual abuse of children by priests should make the Catholic leaders acknowledge the �terrifying� truth that the greatest threat comes from �sin within the Church�.

    I hope this means that the Catholic Church will let the police investigate any and all allegations of sexual abuse. The police and courts will deal with the 'justice' aspect while the victims and Church can discuss the 'forgiveness' aspect.

    "Forgiveness can be a subsitute for justice"

    ...said the Pope to the molested children
    ...said the Government to the Aboriginals
    ...said the Southern States to the Blacks
    ...said the Orangemen to the Catholics

    "I mean, you're not getting molested by us ANY MORE, are you? We're over it, so what's your problem, man?"

    Funny how the perps are always so eager to have the victims move on, and then blame the victims because aren't ready to.

    The police can, the problem is victims need to report it to the police and not the church. The church itself cannot do much, it cannot launch an investigation, lest not to the same extent the police can due to privacy laws, and it cannot lay charges either. The Catholic Church needs to be reporting it to the local police, the problem is the Catholic Church is more a government than a church so they do what any government does, they try to cover it up and hope it goes away.
