concidering the apology speach Kevin Rudd gave to the stolen generation we have a high bench mark when it comes to apologies from orgainsations to the groups they have hurt
Now its expected that the pope will make an apology to the victoms of abuse by priests and for how the church has treated them afterward.
So what would be concidered acceptable?
The reason i ask is both because of an interview with the biographer of Pope John paul II and because of the parents who flew in from england to try to get a meeting with the pope to discuss there 2 daughters who were abused by a priest. There eldest commited suicide possably because of the treatment the church gave her when she tried to get an apology from them.
Now in this interview this morning this guy (cant rember his name sorry) was saying that if people expect to hear "I am sorry" they may well be disapointed but comming off Rudd speach i cant see how anything else would be accepted
