A Boise Catholic priest says 82-year-old Pope Benedict XVI should retire and make room for a stronger leader to navigate through the church's latest sex abuse crisis.

The Rev. Thomas Faucher, the priest at St. Mary's Catholic Church, said the "pope may be a saintly man, but he is much too old to lead the church through this mess."

Michael Driscoll, Idaho Catholic diocese bishop, declined comment.
