To Sinead O'Connor, the pope's apology for sex abuse in Ireland seems hollow - washingtonpost.com
Years ago, I hung a poster from the newspaper, "The Catholic Worker," that read: The greatest kindness I have to offer you is the truth. Openness, sincere acknowledgement of past wrongs, care for and compensation of victims, and cooperation with civil authorities these are the steps that need to be taken by institution for crimes against children. The cover ups, the excuses, and rationalizations must end! If the men of the cloth are men of faith they know that God sees all. What else matters beyond our attempts to make ourselves right with the Lord? A contrite heart requires deeds.
