Sean Brady apologizes to victims of sexual abuse - ‘may God forgive us’

Resign , you cop-out shyster. And pay your household charge like every other Irish citizen must. Oh, I forgot. Members of the rc church are exempt from this tax.

there is no forgiveness dude,for crimes of that nature,not in this world or your make believe next one.

Collette2.You make out that these mothers and wives are helpless victims and have no free will.The problem as I see it is that both priests and wives are vulnerable and connect because they both are lacking the same needs when you think about it.There is no violence involved.The woman has to be willing.Like most extra-marital relationships.The cause is the failure of one or both in the marriage.The outsider/priest is allowed into the family unit.Therefore the blame has to be shared.

sirpeter, more times than not, parents as children,they themselves have been victims at the hands of our clergy. They don't mind the mothers and wives of other men for their own use either, usually while they're at work earning a quid to support their families. How horrific a scenario is that.

This isn't all the churches fault at all.While they are partly responsible it's the sycophants to these give-me-forever-lasting pleasure when I die people of the world who are mostly to blame.Those who are too lazy to question.Those who are too self-centered with their own pain and selfishness to make sure their own children are not in danger and who put them second to their own wants and needs.Children get abused or some other avoidable miseries that fall upon them because the parents of these children fail in their duty to protect their children first and foremost.Simple as that.The wolf in the long grass sees the weakness in the parent and life doesn't suffer fools gladly.If you are willing to place your child in the trust of ANYBODY for whatever reason and your child is abused.Then a crime by ANYBODY against your child who expects protection from YOU at all times is ultimately your failure and your mistake and therefore you share in that crime.Anyway be happy with the "healing stone" because a voodoo rock and promises of more holy bullsh*t is what you pay good money for.

Just one word. Get Lost! There are still cases coming to light, and the College of Cardinals still wearing their hats, worldwide.

Mr. Brady should resign as Cardinal Primate of Ireland. He is a disgrace to the office once held by Tomas Cardinal O'Fiaich. Mr. Brady should be tried for his crimes against children.

CATHOLICABSUESURVIVORSNI.COM---- CARDINAL SEAN BRADY knows his words are as foolish as his outfit and dagon fish god hat, he has covered up child sex abuse in ireland all his life and been exposed by the press and media on a regular basis for it ,---ooh how the mighty have fallen resign and hand yourself over to the ''irish'' police for crimes against humanity you fraudster , pay the irish goverment the agreed child abuse money you owe them , then leave for vatican city were you will end your days in luxury, you imposter of all things christ.

Would have been better spending the money for the stone on the victims. Nothing has changed.

He didnt apologise for his lack of action. He kept saying 'us' instead of 'me'. He facilitated a paedophile ring. He should resign.

Soothing words, with sadness and some humility. Now he should lead the charge to change the laws in the Vatican that clearly state that any and all clergy and other church officials are mandated to report any and all evidence of crimes to secular sources. Church law can no longer be presumed to trump civil law.

The only words of Card. Brady's I find encouraging are the words that tell us he finally realizes "what has happened in the Church in Ireland." But he still cannot bring himself to utter words that say what his Church did TO Ireland. I note also the evasion in the stone's inscription "what some of us did to your children." Since he recognizes that "what some [including the cardinal himself] did" also contributed "to a wider culture of evil and death," his next step after apologizing ought to be supporting and cooperating with the movement of Irish priests to reform his Church's "culture of evil and death." Any chance of that happening?

This is such BS. If the words Brady spoke came from another that would be one thing but to come from him and for him to brazemly stay in his post is scandalous. Resign.

Another of the Popes disciples doing his dirty work. Why isn't he admitting that the Catholic church has done these travesties, instead of trying to cover them up. dkbertroch and Portia777, I salute you I couldn't have said it better, good for you.

Portia777, I must have missed that particular one of "the rules of Roman church" when growing up Roman Catholic as a child in Montana, and then later until today in NYC and environs. And, "(m)olesting children is not a crime under the rules of their god...and he is not called Jesus either(?)" Never having been a priest, or nun for that matter, I would not know if there are internal machinations, etc. Can a qualified clerical type step up to the plate, and address the allegations of Portia777?
