THE Pope yesterday admitted the Catholic church had to take action to end the widespread sexual abuse of children by priests.

Pope Benedict XVI told Vatican officials that abuse revelations reached "an unimaginable dimension" this year and the church had to accept the "humiliation" as a call for renewal.

In his Christmas speech, where he stressed key issues in the church, he said priests had to be better trained so the abuse never happens again and the victims must be helped to heal.
