He is not willing to take responsibility for the fact that he knew about the sex abuse many, many years ago. And even today, he is refusing the open up the Vatican's sex abuse files and hand them over to the relevant police forces world wide. That makes him an accomplice to sex crimes against children and such a person should not be honoured with a state visit to Britain.\"\u003cbr/\u003e19. Various of protest \u003cbr/\u003e20.

Wide as popemobile approaches Buckingham Palace\u003cbr/\u003ePope Benedict XVI met five people who were molested by priests as children and apologised to them, even as abuse survivors and thousands of people opposed to his visit marched in central London in the biggest protest of his five-year papacy on Saturday.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict met for about 30-40 minutes with the victims at the Vatican's apostolic nunciature in Wimbledon and prayed with them, according to the\u003cbr/\u003eVatican and Bill Kilgallon, chairman of the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission - a church group that organised the encounter.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict \"expressed his deep sorrow and shame over what victims and their families had suffered,\" according to a Vatican statement.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He prayed with them and assured them that the Catholic Church is continuing to implement effective measures designed to safeguard young\u003cbr/\u003epeople, and that it is doing all in its power to investigate allegations, to collaborate with civil authorities and to bring to justice clergy and religious (brothers) accused of these egregious crimes,\" it said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe statement was similar to ones issued by the Vatican when Benedict has met previously with victims on foreign trips to the United States,  Australia and Malta. \u003cbr/\u003eThis time, Benedict also met with a group of professionals and volunteers who work to safeguard children and young people in church environments and praised their efforts.\u003cbr/\u003eHe told the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) that the victims weren't angry, but wanted to make sure children were protected. \u003cbr/\u003eThe sex abuse scandal has clouded Benedict's four-day state visit to this deeply secular nation with a centuries-old history of anti-Catholic\u003cbr/\u003esentiment. \u003cbr/\u003ePolls have indicated widespread dissatisfaction in Britain with the way Benedict has handled the crisis, with Catholics nearly as critical of\u003cbr/\u003ehim as the rest of the population.\u003cbr/\u003eAnger over the scandal runs high in Britain in part because of the enormous scale of the abuse in neighbouring Ireland, where government reports\u003cbr/\u003ehave detailed systematic abuse of children at church-run schools and cover-up by church authorities.\u003cbr/\u003eAs the pope met with the victims, abuse survivors and demonstrators opposed to the pope's stance against homosexuality, abortion and using\u003cbr/\u003econdoms to fight AIDS, marched from Hyde Park to Downing Street to protest against the pope's visit, which is costing British taxpayers 12 (m) million (GBR) pounds (18.7 (m) million).\u003cbr/\u003eThey carried banners reading: \"Protect Children, not Priests,\" \"\u003cbr/\u003eThe pope is wrong - put a condom on\" and \"Pope protects paedophile priests.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHuman rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said the pontiff had apologised \"for the failings of others, but never for his own personal failings.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe accused the Pope of being an accomplice to sex crimes against children and that \"such a person should not be honoured with a state visit to Britain.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOrganisers said they expected 10,000 people, and thousands were seen marching through London. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice declined to give a crowd estimate. \u003cbr/\u003eEven a crowd of a few thousand would make it the largest protest against Benedict since his election in 2005.\u003cbr/\u003eStill, it was peaceful.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, faced a violent protest in Utrecht, the Netherlands in 1985 involving about 1,000 to 1,500 young people.\u003cbr/\u003eThen, demonstrators chanting \"We want to kill the pope\" fought pitched battles with police, jammed police radios with a satirical song and sparked\u003cbr/\u003etwo shooting incidents that resulted in 14 arrests and eight injuries.\u003cbr/\u003eSaturday's march was of a different tone entirely. \u003cbr/\u003eMany wore rainbow-coloured clothes or waved gay pride flags. \u003cbr/\u003eSome in the crowd bounced inflated condoms back and forth across the route. \u003cbr/\u003eThe protest brought together not just people opposed to the church's handling of abuse, but also those opposed to its stance on gays, women's ordination and a host of other issues.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring a Mass in Westminster Cathedral earlier on Saturday, Benedict said he hoped the church's humiliation and shame over the abuse scandal would help victims heal and help the church purify itself and renew its commitment to educating the young.\u003cbr/\u003eHis comments, which were in line with his previous statements on the topic, were directed at Britain's Catholic community in the seat of the English church, a sign that Benedict wanted to speak to the faithful about the humiliation they all felt as Catholics.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes, along with my hope that the power of Christ's grace, his sacrifice of reconciliation, will bring deep healing and peace to their lives,\" Benedict said in his homily.\u003cbr/\u003eHe acknowledged the shame and humiliation all the faithful had suffered as a result of the scandal and said he hoped \"this chastisement will contribute to the healing of the victims, the purification of the church and the renewal of her age-old commitment to the education and care of young people.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOn his way to Britain, Benedict acknowledged to reporters that the church had failed to act quickly or decisively enough to stop the abuse and prevent it from recurring. \u003cbr/\u003eVictims groups have dismissed such comments as hollow, saying they want the church to turn over information about suspected paedophiles in its ranks and take action, not words, to make children safer.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict went ahead with a busy day on Saturday, his third in Britain, as six men arrested in an alleged terror attempt against him remained in police\u003cbr/\u003ecustody. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice staged a pre-dawn raid on Friday and arrested five street cleaners; a sixth person was arrested later in the day.\u003cbr/\u003ePolice say they were detained under the Terrorism Act \"on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLater Saturday he was to celebrate an evening prayer service in Hyde Park in preparation for Sunday's beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman, a 19th century convert from Anglicanism whom the pope wants to hold up as a model for the faithful.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
