Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States sheds light on the widening gulf between traditional Catholics and liberal Catholics. Pope Benedict has called the church sexual abuse scandal a 'deep shame.' He seeks to heal a fresh wound for a church divided over key issues like abortion, birth control and how to resolve the priest shortage. Join Regina Brett for a discussion on what Catholics want from the Pope and their church Friday morning at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.

Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., Senior Fellow of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, Irondale, AL
