Pope acknowledges church failures in abuse scandal

Pope Benedict XVI has acknowledged the Catholic Church failed to act decisively or quickly enough to deal with priests who rape and molest children.

Speaking to reporters Thursday en route to a state visit to Britain, Benedict said the church's top priority was now helping victims heal and regain their trust in the church.

The pope's comments marked his most thorough admission to date of church failures to deal with the *** abuse scandal, which has exploded anew with revelations in Belgium this week of hundreds of victims, at least 13 of whom committed suicide.

My question is , why ask the POPE what he is doing when in fact the question should be " WHAT ARE THE AUTHORITIES ARE DOING " mapa petty or heinous crime pa na . That is the whole point .
