COMMENTS: Happy St Patrick’s Day
Pope Benedict XVI observed their patron saint by addressing the Roman Catholic faithful of Ireland. He promised to write them a letter about the sexual abuse of children by his priests. "My hope is that it will help in the process of repentance, healing and renewal," was how both NBC's Dawna Friesen and CBS' Mark Phillips quoted the Pontiff in their narration from London. CBS' Phillips warned that this scandal has now spread from the United States to Ireland and now to Brazil and the rest of Europe. Noted NBC's Friesen: "In 1980, Pope Benedict was Archbishop of Munich. A pedophile priest in his diocese was sent for therapy, went on to re-offend and even after being convicted, continued as a priest until finally being suspended--this week."
