Report of sex assault doesn’t help society

FR Denis Forde was up before the courts during the week. I buy the Irish Examiner (but for the last time now) and was appalled to see his name registered on your paper before the trial ended.

The following day you had his photograph and some graphic details accompanying.

With your aggressive stance towards the clergy, how can they stand a fair trial?

Don’t get me wrong - of course I know there are clergy who have done grave wrong and I abhor that. No doubt, you will also find people who contribute to your paper with some flaws as well.

In my opinion, it would serve you better if you look to contributing to a just society - not colluding with unproven gutter stuff.
