A damning report into clerical child abuse in the Dublin archdiocese has criticised the Catholic Church hierarchy for covering up the abuse.The report investigated how Church and state authorities handled allegations of child abuse against 46 priests.
It found that the Church placed its own reputation above the protection of children in its care. It also said that state authorities facilitated the cover-up by allowing the Church to operate outside the law.The "Report of the Commission of Investigation into the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin" covered a period from 1975 to 2004.
It has laid bare a culture of concealment where church leaders prioritised the protection of their own institution above that of vulnerable children in their care.Full story here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8381119.stm
Despite authorities being made aware of the situation nothing was done however they are dealt with, what will become of the victims?. I hope there's a special place in Hell for the people who did this and those who allowed it.
