Calgary bishop says don’t blame the pope

Calgary’s Catholic bishop says we shouldn’t blame the pope for the church’s recent sex abuse scandals.

In a pastoral letter to Calgary parishes, Fred Henry says the Catholic church is facing a painful and humbling time.

He says priests feel battered.

He points out that the pope has called for those responsible to answer to tribunals before God.

Henry says the abusive priests have betrayed a sacred trust and brought shame to the church.
