One in Four attacks Vatican’s ‘wholly inadequate’ response

VICTIMS support group One in Four has accused the Vatican of making a “wholly inadequate” response to the Murphy report and failing to accept responsibility for the cover-up of sexual abuse worldwide.

Welcoming Bishop of Limerick Donal Murray’s decision, director Maeve Lewis said “the wholly inadequate response of the Vatican to the Dublin Report shows that the Catholic Church is incapable of accepting responsibility for the cover-up of sexual abuse across the world.

“The Irish people now need to decide if Catholic bishops are the appropriate people to have responsibility for child protection in schools and hospitals.”
