Brady: Vatican response to Cloyne Report 'fair and sensitive'

All-Ireland primate Cardinal Sean Brady has welcomed the Vatican's response to the Cloyne Report and claimed it conveyed "profound abhorrence" for the abuse.

In its formal response to the Government in the wake of the damning findings of abuse allegations in the diocese of Cloyne, the Vatican has rejected claims by Taoiseach Enda Kenny that it tried to frustrate a clerical child abuse inquiry insisting the accusations were unfounded.
