Abuse victim deeply unhappy at stance of new archbishop

ABUSE victim Colm O’Gorman is appalled that the new Archbishop of Dublin missed a golden opportunity yesterday to acknowledge the Church failed people like him.

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin met members of the media on the eve of his liturgy of welcome which will take place later today in St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral.

The former permanent observer of the Holy See in Geneva said he understood there were many people very disturbed by the scandals in the church, a matter that was being addressed so the church could regain its credibility.
