I am very confident that the Spirit is with us.

No organization, whether it's police or physicians or whatever, wants to have its errors held up to the light of day, but it's wrong, as is coming out so well.

One of the biggest issues that we face is that we have people who have their own particular concerns, whether it's on abortion, birth control, divorce and remarriage, civil rights or social justice.

The church may hold whatever it holds with regard to clerical celibacy.

I think the issue of clergy sexual abuse sparked people to look at their faith in a different way.

Some of the speakers we bring on campus may not reflect official church teaching, but that's how it is.

I would say the hierarchy has made terrible errors in judgment and it has to seek forgiveness by its members.
