A magpie perches on a gravestone at Milltown cemetery in Belfast, Northern Ireland, March 21, 2010. Roman Catholic Church congregations across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland listened as Saturday's letter of apology from Pope Benedict was read out during their services. The Pope apologised to victims of child sex abuse by clergy in Ireland and ordered an official inquiry there to try to stem a scandal gripping the Catholic Church which has swept across Europe.
