Shame Benedict Shame

The latest news reports from the Vatican indicate that Pope Benedict XVI has refused to accept the resignations of two Irish Bishops,Eamonn Walsh and Raymond Field

When the Bishops offered their resignations they wrote:

"As we celebrate the Feast of Christmas, the Birth of our Saviour, the Prince of Peace, it is our hope that our action may help to bring the peace and reconciliation of Jesus Christ to the victims/survivors of child sexual abuse."

Pope Benedict's refusal to accept their resignations suggests that the Vatican is not concerned about bringing " the peace and reconciliation of Jesus Christ to the victims/survivors of child sexual abuse."

It was quite surprising that the Pope didn't accept their resignations. Who knows... Maybe, he has a good reason for doing that? But, so far, I can't think of one.
