Then why hasn't he asked cardinal Law to come back to the US and meet
with the authorities in Boston and answer a few basic questions? Oh
now I remember - Law hasn't been accused of anything - right?

Pope says he is 'deeply ashamed' of clergy abuse scandal
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE - Pope Benedict XVI said Tuesday he was "deeply
ashamed" of the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic
Church and will work to keep pedophiles out of the priesthood,
addressing the toughest issue facing the American church as he began
his first papal trip to the United States.
Benedict spoke in English on a special Alitalia flight from Rome to
Washington, answering questions submitted by reporters in advance.
"It is a great suffering for the Church in the United States and for
the church in general and for me personally that this could happen,"
Benedict said. "It is difficult for me to understand how it was
possible that priests betray in this way their mission ... to these
children."
