Failure of the Church

THE proportionality of media response to the Cloyne report does not merely reflect the number of clerical abusers alone.

It reflects the enormity of the issues behind all aspects of the issues raised by this most recent expose of crime and subsequent complicity of “superiors”, from parish to the Vatican.

The church’s conscious, conscienceless, and abject failure to properly address matters is wilful and denies basic human rights yet again.
