From what I have read, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has responded much more like a man of God, and much different than in the US when the same circumstances happened during the tenure of Cardinal Law of Boston. It is obvious that Cardinal Law's "silence" was rewarded by him being assigned to a beautiful basilica in Rome, and those who had worked directly with him in Boston where made bishops and assigned to places like Long Island where they went on to fight any extention of the statute of limitations for victims of abuse.

St Paul warned the new Christians not to listen to the people who were infiltrating their little worship groups. Some people listened and some didn't. The ones who listend to the pharasees started the RCC.
Weve been generatioinally brain washed.But we know differently now. LEAVE the evil one.

Why does he just speak of Ireland?This hidious Crime is all over the Roman Catholic World and has been totally exposed for 10 years. What's the problem?? Is his head in the sand? I must say that the Roman Catholic Church does not know "The Good Shepard" nor does Jesus Christ know them. Does the RCC act as the good shepards that Jesus speaks of in the Bible? In no way. This Institution is so un - like Jesus Christ, I don't see how anyone can stay in it. Let alone start apologizing for any thing .This ABUSE started in the middle of the first century AD.

At last someone is talking. but wrong about just 10 priests, or is that just an area in America. Almost every small village in Ireland has had reports of abuse and are waiting in line for a court hearing. This abuse of children did'nt just start around the 50s, we can't go back a hundred years.
