Pope Benedict today professed regret at the Ferns Sexual abuse scandals and solidarity
with the victims. This might be the first papal utterance of understanding on the issue of child
sexual abuse which tormented a generation of Children. The message was relayed at
an Irish Episcopal Conference at the Vatican today.

Its a start.
It's an acknowledgement of the torment that people went through.
It is not an apology or acceptance of responsibility for the handling and
covering up of the issue.

Pope Benedict was at the head of the council which investigated the issue of Child Sexual Abuse.
The Buck Stopped there. read full story / add a comment

Speaking during a visit to the area this morning, Mr Sargent said he blamed Mr Dempsey for the ongoing dispute due to his failure to intervene.

"This situation is unfortunately going to deteriorate and I put the onus on Minister Noel Dempsey to exercise his responsibilities to ensure a resolution of this matter and not just hide behind the legal small print which he seems to be relying on at the moment," he said.
