BOSTON (AP) -- Protesters in Boston called for a government investigation of clergy sex abuse claims nationwide, saying revelations concerning the Pope show the Catholic church will never reform itself.

About 30 people held vigil Saturday in downtown Boston, one of several cities nationwide where protesters expressed solidarity with European abuse victims.

The vigil came a day after the former archdiocese of Pope Benedict XVI disclosed that while he was archbishop, it transferred a suspected pedophile priest to a job where he later abused children. The archdiocese said the pope knew nothing about the transfer.

Anne Barrett Doyle of BishopAccountability.org said the story showed the church is "rotten from the top down."

Doyle said protesters tried to deliver a letter requesting help to U.S. Sen. Scott Brown's office, but a building guard turned them away.
