Pope seeks forgiveness as church confronts past errors
The 79 year old pope, frail yet resolute, led a penitent confession with five cardinals and two bishops in heavy purple robes. He vowed to cleanse Catholicism for its third millennium while Parkinson’s tremors marked his hands. Survivors and activists urged broader accountability for historical wrongs including the treatment of Jews and gays. The pope planned a visit to Yad Vashem in March to discuss the Holocaust.
