Abuse survivor Marie Collins challenges cardinal over co-operation

Irish abuse survivor Marie Collins has challenged a claim by a senior Vatican figure that his office cooperated with the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.

Ms Collins resigned from the commission at the start of this month blaming “the resistance by some members of the Vatican Curia to the work of the commission”.

“The lack of co-operation, particularly by the dicastery most involved in dealing with cases of abuse, has been shameful,” she had stated.
