EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) - A Roman Catholic priest from western Massachusetts who's been a longtime critic of the church's handling of the clergy abuse crisis has called on Pope Benedict XVI to step down.

The Rev. James Scahill of St. Michael's in East Longmeadow in his sermon on Sunday also demanded greater protection of children and greater accountability from church hierarchy.

The pope has been subjected to intense criticism recently for the way he has dealt with some abuse cases.
