Imagine that, Catholic Bishops are “ashamed and shocked.” Ashamed they most certainly should be, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if any of them are shocked, as surely they were well aware of what was going on throughout their corrupt institutions in terms of sexual abuse.
Needless to say that praying for the victims is inconsequential, as meaningless words to a non-existent God cannot overcome the physical and mental anguish inflicted on these individuals.. TGO

BAD STAFFELSTEIN, Germany – Bishops from the heavily Roman Catholic German state of Bavaria say they are “ashamed and shocked” at the extent of sexual abuse in the church and are calling for prayers for the victims.
The Archbishop of Munich and Freising Reinhard Marx is meeting Thursday with the leaders of other diocese in Bavaria where some 100 former students of church-run schools have claimed they were abused.
In comments Wednesday, Marx called for a rebirth in the church in the wake of the abuse scandal that has rocked the homeland of Pope Benedict XVI.
