The pope, making some of his most explicit comments on the sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Church in several countries, also said unequivocally that those responsible should be brought to justice.
Benedict made a last-minute addition to his prepared homily in St. Mary’s Cathedral, adding one powerful and personal sentence - using the word “I” three times - the Vatican had hoped would satisfy victims groups.
“Indeed, I am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the victims have endured and I assure them that as their pastor I too share in their suffering,” he said.
Acknowledging the “shame which we have all felt,” he called sexual abuse of minors an “evil” and added that “those responsible for these evils must be brought to justice”.
