Very well said Peter!


It certainly would be a good thing if the Church accepted responsibility for the shameful cover up...no doubt about that!

I think it might be a stretch from that, to demanding the Pope's resignation.
Pope Benedict seems one of the more thoughtful and intelligent Popes who have held office during my lifetime and although many might see him as "conservative", I feel he has no option if he wishes to adhere to the Church's basic principles.....which are NOT all bad.
