Pope vows to bar pedophiles becoming priests

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) - Pope Benedict said on Tuesday he was "deeply ashamed" over sexual abuse of children by priests and vowed to do everything possible to stop pedophiles entering the priesthood in future.
We will absolutely exclude pedophiles from the sacred ministry," he told reporters accompanying him on his first trip as pope to the United States.
"We are deeply ashamed and will do whatever is possible so that this does not happen in the future," he said on board the plane to Washington.
