Despite what the very good Vatican Report John Allen stated, see "Shepherd One" and the absence of the in-flight press conference , the Pope appears to have other ideas. According to Father Z we hear From the papal airplane: “Pedophile priests will be completely excluded from the priesthood.” . It appears something is going on.
For more on the "Shepherd One" go see his entry
A few details about the papal plane
Update- As some of the comments indicate at Father Z the real problem is ephebophilia not Pedophilia. I often think this is a important distinction to make on many levels. However Pope Benedict know that the difference will be lost on the media I suspect and just make more misleading headlines
Maritime Sentry has a Link to the AP Article
Update III See Father Z's Fuller account what the Pope said on the airplane
