Cardinal unlikely to resign given Vatican support

I’ve watched RTE reporter Tommie Gorman’s 18 minute interview on May 2 with Catholic Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh, Cardinal Sean Brady, about when, in 1975, as a part-time 36 year-old-secretary to a bishop, he was the notetaker at a meeting with a young man telling his story of being abused by the most persistent of paedophile priests, Fr Brendan Smyth.

It was part of a private Church investigation into Fr Smyth.

It was examined again on the BBC’s This World broadcast on May 1. Fr Smyth died in 1997, one month into his 12-year sentence, and was buried very late on a dark night.
