Collar and Chain

The current issue of "Time" magazine features Pope Benedict XVI and the clergy-pedophile scandal as its front cover and main story. By now I've read about 200 documents, articles, and books on the scandal. Of that number and of the many television reports I've watched, I've read and seen many instances in which bishops and B-16 himself have apologized for the criminal deeds of those priests and some nuns---not apologies for any bishops by name, mind you, who mishandled those priests---just apologies on behalf of the priests. And yet I've read or seen only TWO apologies directly from the many criminal PRIESTS themselves. Something's wrong with this picture.
