	Cardinal O'Malley Begins Pilgrimage of " Repentance and Hope" KFLY May 26, 2006 http://www.klfy.com/Global/story.asp?S=4952912 Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley has begun what he calls a pilgrimage of "repentance and hope" to parishes with especially painful histories of clergy sex abuse. He says the services will acknowledge the sins of clergy sexual abuse that violated the innocence of children, which he calls an offense against God. O'Malley began his Novena to the Holy Spirit Thursday with a Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. O'Malley and other priests lay prostrate on the altar as a Litany of Repentance was sung. Outside the cathedral, about a dozen protesters said prayers are not enough and the cardinal needs to take more action. Inside, about 300 people attended the Mass, including some abuse victims. O'Malley has repeatedly offered public and private apologies to the victims of clergy abuse.
