From Arizona-
What would Mary do?
The cover story of the April 12 Newsweek magazine raises the question of what Jesus' mother, Mary- or any women, for that matter - would have done differently in handling the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests.
For sure, Mary would not have screwed it up so badly.
On Wednesday, Pope Benedict XVI spoke publicly for the first time about decades of clerical sexual abuse within the church. He told the crowd in St. Peter's Square in Rome that he gave "assurances of the church's action" at a recent meeting with eight men who said they were abused by priests in a church-operated orphanage on Malta.
Last Sunday, the Vatican issued a statement that recounted the church's commitment to do everything possible to investigate allegations of sexual abuse, bring perpetrators to justice and implement measures to protect children.
Finally, we seem to be getting somewhere.
