where is Pontiff 's mea culpa

Admittedly the Catholic Churches and her followers did a lot of good services, however, the Holy See constantly has an arrogant and holier-than-thou history incapable of tendering sincere apology when it is due. The Holy See's record remains appallingly disastrous.

To name a few from the history - the infamous Spanish Inquisition that culiminated in the successive repression of jews, protestants and the muslim over a period of 4 centuries was sanctioned by the Holy See.

Equally notorious was another Holy See's approved project - the Roman Inquisition that suppress the promotion of science and knowledge. Victims include scientist like Bruno Giardona who was burned at the stake as a heretic for promoting cosmological science. Another famous scientist Galilio Gallilei, was lucky to escape death by the fire, but not death in ignominy under the house arrest.

Not to mention the Holy See's tacit support for the Nazi's Jewish pogrom and territorial agression during the Second World War.

The latest expression of deep shame by Pope Benedict sounded like half hearted and avoid of emphathy. Whilst it is right for him to call the sexual abuse of children by the Catholic clergy as gravely immoral, the question is - what about his own moral duty - why did he not discpline the paedophile disguised in priesthood when he was vested with the cardinal power to do so before becoming the Pontiff? where is the unconditional apology and mea culpa?
