What do you think about Pope Benedict's letter to the Irish Church?

It was a sincere apology that will help heal the Church


It was a sincere apology, but he side-stepped what concrete action the Church will take


It was just more of the same religious jargon, and doesn't change a thing


It was a letter from a morally corrupt man as guilty as the pedophile priests
