Did Brady covered up child abuse?

[orangeman]

Still in denial.



Cardinal Seán Brady has said he is aware of this morning's opinion poll finding that three out of four adults in the Republic think he should resign.

But the Catholic Primate of All Ireland also expressed confidence that he had the prayers and support of many people as he continued his work in renewing faith and structures in the Church at what he termed 'this challenging time'.The Cardinal was responding to a query from RTÉ News about his unpopularity revealed in the latest set of results of last week's Ipsos/MRBI survey.

What were the demographics of the poll?

What were the demographics of the poll?

Don't know but they were able to break results down by province, age and even political party. Also, even in Ulster/Connaught in the older generations they were 2:1 against him

Woman who speaks for child abused spoke well on news last night... that Brady is so arrogant he believes no-one else can lead the Catholic church in Ireland.
He is so tainted his views on anything no will have no respect. last week he was on about the situation in the Gaza... like wind your neck in Brady and look at your own human rights record.

At least the Belgian authorities have the guts to investigate these crimes.

Pity the Gardai / RUC didn't do the same when they ought to have.

Belgian law is different and the judiciary appears to function just fine without the burden of a Government.
Just goes to show that the Vatican guideline to report sex abuse cases to the authorities  *if* required by local law, will be ignored if it is not required by local law. Looks like the investigating commission were not going to hang around any longer after being stonewalled for months.

This makes good reading
'30 armed police officers with dogs swooped down on the palace of the archbishop of Brussels-Mechelen, sealing off the building and removing a variety of documents, while another raid took place at the home of Cardinal Godfried Danneels, 77, where police officers seized the personal computer of the former head of Belgium's Catholic Church'.
