From: "* irenic *" 

Here's an interesting quote/generalization I read again this morning, in
comparative religion expert Dr Huston Smith's book 'The Soul of
Christianity' (HarperSanFrancisco 2005, p. 137):

'Though divine in origin, the [Christian] Church is made up of humans, of
sinners, and so *in an act unique for any institution* (my emphasis), at
the end of the second millennium the Pope publicly apologized and did
penance in the name of the Church for the sins of individual Christians
throughout the ages.'

True?
