"The Church must admit its mistakes and begin a
radical change, starting from the pope and the bishops. The paedophilia
scandals oblige us to take a journey of transformation."—Cardinal Carlo
Maria Martini (1927-2012), former archbishop of Milan—and unsuccessful papal
candidate—quoted in “Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, In Final Interview Before Death, Says Church '200 Years Out Of Date,'” The Huffington Post, September 1, 2012
My thanks to Peter Quinn for the heads-upon this
interview.
