How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years
Pope Benedict XVI, beginning a controversial state visit to Britain, acknowledged Thursday that the Catholic Church failed to act decisively or quickly enough to deal with priests who rape and molest children.

"This visit should never had happened. We stand here against these abusers. This is a waste of taxpayers' money," Mr. Paisley said.
