The Pope is sorry?THE Pope's planned apology to Australian sex abuse victims should be delivered to them face to face, victims have said.
The Pontiff should also forcefully tell his Australian bishops to stop blocking victims' access to civil courts and using the statute of limitations as a get-out clause, victims' group Broken Rites said in The Australian today.
On his way to Sydney yesterday, Benedict XVI outlined in broad terms his plan to apologise for sexual abuse by priests, saying the Catholic Church must "consider what was insufficient in our behaviour and how we can prevent, heal, reconcile".
"Being a priest is inconsistent with sexual abuse. This behaviour contradicts holiness," the pontiff said yesterday.
