‘No bad thing Church brought to its knees’

THE newly ordained Bishop of Clogher has said it may be no bad thing that the Church has been brought to its knees by the child abuse crisis.

Speaking at his ordination yesterday, Bishop Liam McDaid added that “society is right in checking the Church is sincere in its efforts towards rehabilitation”.

Around 1,100 invited guests attended the ordination, included the Taoiseach Brian Cowen and the head of the PSNI, Matt Baggot.
