Pope concludes 'Year for Priests' with sexual abuse apology

Pope Benedict XVI has marked the end of the Roman Catholic Church's Year for Priests by apologising for the scandal of sexual abuse of children by clergy, reports Ecumenical News International.

"It happened that in this year of joy for the sacrament of the priesthood, the sins of priests came to light, particularly the abuse of the little ones, in which the priesthood, whose task is to manifest God's concern for our good, turns into the opposite," Pope Benedict told 15 000 priests from 90 countries gathered in Rome on 11 June to concelebrate the Eucharist with him.
