Pope Benedict apologized to victims of sexual abuse on Saturday, saying pedophile priests had brought "shame and humiliation" on him and the entire Roman Catholic Church.
Opponents say that he needs to do more to atone for the crimes of Catholic priests: some demand that he turn over names and more information to police so that they can be effectively prosecuted by the state, others insist that his words are "PR not penitence".
What do you think the church needs to do to really deal with this problem? Let's try and avoid ranting and raving in favor of real opinions--well, what do you think?

this was a good article, it seems like the recommendation should be held where if a priests was jailed for abuse, they should be dismissed from the church.
