During his historic homily at Saint Patrick's Cathedral this morning, Pope Benedict XVI expressed "disappointment" in the division of Catholics in America, promised to heal those still wounded by the priest sex abuse crisis and prayed for hope for the church's future.

"This message of hope we are called to proclaim and embody in a world where self-centeredness, greed, violence and cynicism so often seem to choke the fragile growth of grace in people's hearts," Benedict said during his homily, which was heard outside the cathedral and broadcast on large screens.
