He also did this......
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three victims of the sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Roman Catholic Church described an emotional, frank and ultimately hope-filled meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday.
They were part of a small group of people abused by clergy who were asked to share their stories with the pope in a Washington chapel.
"They prayed with the Holy Father, who afterwards listened to their personal accounts and offered them words of encouragement and hope," said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a papal spokesman.
The exchanges were frank and unscripted, according to some of the victims.
"I told him that he has a cancer growing in his ministry and needs to do something about it," Bernie McDaid said in an exclusive interview with CNN.

I also like the fact that the Pope took the time and made an effort to speak with some of the victims face to face. I still believe he needs to hand down severe punishment for what happened but this is a start.
