It is nearly a year since the new Pope was installed, but still
the same problems dog the Catholic Church. A UN Committee on the
Rights of the Child has just criticised the Vatican over its
failure to deal decisively with child sexual abuse by priests.
Gay rights activists still attack the Church on its stand on
homosexuality and the Vatican’s finances have been under scrutiny
and criminal investigation. Hardtalk speaks to Cardinal Peter
Turkson who was tipped to become the first black Pope. He’s
calling for financial reforms and action against poverty and
inequality. But does the Catholic Church have the moral authority
to take a lead on such issues?
