"This also shows his great humility, and he takes personal responsibility for what had happened in the Church in the past." Words, words, words. The "concrete" evidence will be found in the degree of thoroughness of the investigations that must take place in every diocese on earth. It is my hope that these investigations will "dig, dig, dig" into the consciences of all involved in wrongdoing. No disrespect intended towards Sister Arina Gonsalves.
