The priest father was allowed to retire from the church voluntarily but was eventually arrested on child sex abuses. joining me now laura and carolyn. thank you very much for coming on the program. when you watched the pope say that. what s your reaction? disappointed. frustrated. same rhetoric. different day. martha: carolyn, what would you like him to say? what would have made you feel good about these four days? well, i think that s important about what lara said is that yes, we are angered about what he is saying and what he is not doing again. but, it empowers us even more. our anger is turning into empowerment to just keep fighting. a lot of times the church has withstood the test of time, especially with the statute of limitations they withstood the test of time ....
