Pope must seek forgiveness
Posted on May 21st, 2009 by MichaelThe Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse was established on 23 May, 2000, and given three primary functions:
* to hear evidence of abuse from persons who allege they suffered abuse in childhood, in institutions, during the period from 1940 or earlier, to the present day;
* to conduct an inquiry into abuse of children in institutions during that period and, where satisfied that abuse occurred, to determine the causes, nature, circumstances and extent of such abuse; and
* to prepare and publish reports on the results of the inquiry and on its recommendations in relation to dealing with the effects of such abuse.
Yesterday they issued their long-awaited report which you can now download here …

Belfast Telegraph:
“The topmost and implacable priority of Benedict’s Church is at all costs to retain control of the formation of the next generation of Catholic children.
“It acknowledges the sin while resolving to retain the occasion of sin. It has no firm purpose of amendment. Priests may be prosecuted, bishops may resign. But the buck stops with Benedict”.

it was false thinking a perversity to this this was helping the church
