Pope Benedict XVI addresses "groping"

Pope Benedict XVI is set to lead Easter Sunday Mass in Rome's St Peter's Square and deliver his traditional Easter message from the basilica's balcony.

At a vigil Mass on Saturday evening, he voiced fears that mankind is "groping in the darkness, unable to distinguish good from evil".

The theme of his homily was the contrast between darkness and light.

"Good" is when the kid you're groping doesn't report it. "Bad" is when they contact the authorities saras Apr 2012 #4

He actively moved priests caught with their pants down to places the law could not get at them.

and yes, indeed, the priests are failing at distinguishing one from the other.
