Italy: Pope’s preacher calls for sex abuse penance
Sat. December 16, 2006 06:19 am. -


Zainab Osman

(SomaliNet) Pope Benedict XVI’s personal preacher asked the pontiff on Friday to declare a day of fasting and penance to publicly declare repentance and to express solidarity with the victims of clerical sex abuse.

In a strongly worded lecture, he denounced the “abominations” committed inside the church “by its own ministers and pastors” and declared that the Roman Catholic Church had “paid a high price for this.” The Vatican said it had no immediate comment on the speech, which Cantalamessa sent to some Vatican reporters.

Cantalamessa suggested that the church “indicate a day of fasting and penance, at local and national level, where the problem was particularly strong, to publicly express repentance before God and solidarity with the victims.”
