Ignorant view towards victims of abuse

VICTIMS of abuse involving the Catholic Church are understandably tired of the twist put on their individual tragedies and, while I am not a victim nor do I know any, I am filled with rage regarding the latest degradation of their lives by Frank O’Meara (Irish Examiner letters, October 10).

Does he really believe young people today are so completely ignorant that the crimes of a few sick people would direct their views regarding whether or not they accept this religion, or any?

Does he choose his words with absolute care and honesty when he downgrades the genuine suffering of a number of innocent people to “hate propaganda” and when he upgrades documentaries like States of Fear, etc, to the status of “dramatisations”?
