'The Holy Father has called us respectfully to acknowledge our own
share in causing the pain that so many are still enduring,' said Gregory. Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory said today (14 June) that the US
Catholic bishops "can never say that we are sorry enough for the share
that we have had in this tragedy of broken fidelity and trust" - the
clergy sex abuse crisis.
He made the comments in the homily at an evening Mass said to commemorate a "Day of Prayer and Penance" for victims of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. The liturgy was celebrated at St Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis at the end of the first day of the bishops' spring assembly.
