Church’s credibility being shredded

NO more stonewalling. This is no longer an option for the Catholic Chutrch in Ireland despite yet another apology from Cardinal Desmond Connell last night.

His apology does not change the basic situation which is the injustice done to the many victims of clerical child sex abuse.

The apology does not offset the effect of the deliberate strategy of evasion and cover-up operated at the highest levels by the Irish Catholic Church to shield paedophile priests. This policy is now likely to have a very costly finale.
