	Statement by NSAC on Pope Benedict’s Remarks Today National Survivor Advocates Coalition May 11, 2010 http://www.nsacoalition.org/ Today’s words by Pope Benedict speaking with reporters enroute to Portugal about the “sins inside the Church” remain only words. Whether they are a shift in Vatican policy that will result in action remains to be seen. Protection of the innocent and vulnerable is bedrock value for the Church or at least it should be. Tutoring in suffering should not have been necessary – not by the survivors, their parents and family members, the members of the first lay National Review Board in the United States or any of the advocates among the faithful. It seems the investigation by two governments, Ireland and Germany, and massive news coverage have been the impetus for these few words today not the horrors which the survivors and victims have endured and reported to the hierarchy.
