Recognise Faults, Rise Again, Pope tells U.S. Church

From Reuters AlertNet – Recognise faults, rise again, Pope tells U.S. Church:

“‘Can we not see in the pain and scandal of recent years both a sign of the times and a providential call to conversion and deeper fidelity to the demands of the Gospel?,’ the Pope asked.

‘In the life of each believer and the life of the whole Church, a sincere examination of conscience and the recognition of failure is always accompanied by renewed confidence in the healing power of God’s grace and a summons to press on to what lies ahead,’ he said.”
