LOURDES, France (AP) -- France's Roman Catholic Church is trying to
make amends for years of silence surrounding pedophilia among priests
with a day of prayer and fasting for victims of sex abuse -- and to fix
the problem, notably with a prevention program for priests.
Bishops who gathered in the town of Lourdes, a leading pilgrimage site, for their biannual plenary assembly prayed on Monday "for forgiveness for the sins committed by clergy members."
