    The Guardian / London Pope Francis’s apology is not enough

    “The Catholic church is in meltdown: the appalling story emerged last week of clerical abuse stretching back decades in Pennsylvania...,” writes Joanna Moorhead. “And now ... Pope Francis has spoken out.... He acknowledges the church’s crimes ... and then he invites ‘the entire holy faithful people of God to a penitential exercise of prayer and fasting....’ sins?... [T]he church has failed ... to ask ‘the people of God’ to help it run the institution.... The proper response to the continuing avalanche of reports on the extent of the abuse is to reduce the power of the clergy....”
