ABOARD THE POPE’S PLANE: Pope
Benedict XVI said Saturday he will use his visit to Australia to
apologize for sexual abuse by priests and how the Church can
“prevent, heal and reconcile.” “We have to consider what was
insufficient in our behavior and how we can prevent, heal,
reconcile. This is the essential content of what we will say as we
apologize,” Benedict told reporters aboard his plane as he headed
to Australia to lead the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day
celebrations.
