Pope Benedict said he was "deeply ashamed" over the sexual abuse of children by priests and vowed to do everything possible to stop pedophiles entering the priesthood in future.

I am guessing 'everything possible' does not, in fact, include opening the priesthood to the ninetywhatever percent of potential priests who would like to be a priest but also don't feel they could give up the option of having a loving relationship with a consenting adult.

In unrelated news, this reminds me of a certain scene out of 'Life of Brian':

An audacious comment on big brother society, depicting a small boy painting the words: "One nation under CCTV" while being watched by a security guard, appeared on a building overlooking a post office yard near Oxford Circus. The artist put up three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence, despite being watched by a CCTV (closed circuit television) camera, London's Evening Standard newspaper reported. He then created the work under cover of darkness and hidden behind a plastic sheet before the scaffolding was removed.
