This is a quite shocking assertion; that the appointment of Marie Collins to the Vatican commission is to
'be taken as acknowledgement of the role taken by Diarmuid Martin in combating child abuse'
Marie Collins was CHOSEN, not Diarmuid Martin. She was chosen for who SHE is, not for what Diarmuid Martin did.
This is, in my view an insult to Marie Collins, a survivor of Clergy Sexual Abuse, who in her own right challenged the Church and made changes. SHE made changes.
But for survivors NONE of our Church leaders who have done anything.
To so blatantly deny the role of survivors in challenging the Church and to ascribe Marie Collins appointment as an 'acknowledgement of Diarmuid Martin combating child abuse' is unbelievable.
