COMMENTS: The Universal Church
As promised, Pope Benedict XVI wrote a pastoral letter to the faithful of Ireland on the sexual abuse scandal surrounding Roman Catholic priests. CBS' Allen Pizzey covered the controversy from London while NBC sent Stephanie Gosk to Vatican City itself. Both remarked that the crisis for the church had moved beyond Ireland. Gosk reported "growing anger" that the Pope has failed to address the scandal in his homeland: "More than half of Germany's dioceses are facing abuse allegations." Pizzey saw a universal problem threatening "the future of the Catholic Church around the world…an issue that just keeps going from bad to worse."
