I COULD not help crying when I read the letter from George Longhurst (Irish Examiner, May 18) who bravely faced up to his American bishop in the pursuit of justice for a 10-year-old victim of clerical abuse.

THE Vatican document Crimen Sollicitationis, referred to by Patrick Geaney (Irish Examiner letters, April 27 and May 11), prompted my resignation from the priesthood in 1984.
