look at last paragraph. church investigated previous allegations which they concluded 'could not be substantiated' so put him back in ministry. ergo...allowed him free reign.
just shows the church are unable to monitor let alone investigate alleged abusers

not about clergy abuse but when you see these garda will not be punished then you can see why clergy sexual abuse was 'overlooked' by the gardai!
it's a disgraceful state of affairs that gardai can even say these things and nothing really happen to bring them to book.

‘Radical feminist’ nuns ruffle feathers in the Vatican
many of these nuns can not be described as 'radical feminists' ; it is the vatican who thus labelled them. however any woman who seeks to be independent of male control is regarded as a 'radical feminist', ditto any woman who challenge men.

how dare the vatican treat these women like this.
we must all protest for the right of religious women to engage in their spiritual path according to how THEY feel the Holy Spirit is leading them.
all feminist groups, secular and religious must support these women. you may not have a religious bone in your body but hey...how dare these fossilised men in the Vatican treat these women of intelligence, courage and integrity.
how dare they. lets tell them we are not amused! write to your papal nuncio.

Spain's Stolen-Babies Scandal: Empty Graves and a Silent Nun - TIME
shame...How do I really feel that I was brought up a Catholic and in my own case saw nor experienced any pain at all. even in my thirties as a practicing Catholic there was nothing but joy in my parish thanks to two very special priests. This happened whilst all around me there was abuse, and terrible crimes against women and children. I feel 'cold' and deep sadness and anger for the victims.

This is a damning report by Fr Tom Doyle concerning the 'treatment' of clergy sex abusers by Church run facilities in America, UK and Ireland.
There is an horrendous case of an Irish Priest re-assigned to parishes after several treatment programmes.
A passing reference is made to the St John of God treatment centre in Dublin where this priest was treated twice and returned to ministry. I once visited this place. It was a lovely old country house in the midst of rolling fields but adjacent to a new built housing estate. Offenders had an array of treatment facilities, and ambled in leafy glades whilst not far from there patients (victims of clergy abusers) were in the lock up wards of the same St John of God order tanked up to the eyeballs with drugs. The contrast was obscene. I had to promise I would never reveal the location of the facility so assume the residents in the housing estate never got to discover there were sex offenders getting off the Dublin buses at their doorsteps to visit as outpatients for treatment. Maybe we should now demand what sort of 'record' the Stroud UK centre & The St John of God centre actually had. and how much risk THEY put children in by recommending return to ministry DESPITE re-abusing and return to treatment.

Many will ask why do this if the perpetrators are dead? Is there any benefit in knowing the names of dead perpetrators? Resoundedly YES!
Many victims will benefit in knowing that THEIR abuser is known, THEIR abuser has been 'outed' and it will help them realise they may not be alone. They can now speak out clearly.
The other message is to the Church. You may seek to 'cover-up' even after death but in the end the names will be named! The fact you don't do it yourselves only speakes of your dishonest and hypocritical 'christianity'. for the last thing you seem to want to do is heal victims.

800 priests in Ireland are members of the new ACP. one of their leaders is 'silenced' by the Vatican. Just when a ray of hope shines through the murky clouds of clergy abuse here, in the shape of the ACP the Vatican is getting twitchy. These 800 priests must stand behind this leader.

A General Comment: Fundamental qustions must be asked of priests, bishops, Archbishops links to political and Police senior representatives. whilst I'm not trying to look at 'conspiracies' here, nonetheless there is sufficient evidence worldwide to suggest the Church has NOT always acted alone. Nor have some sex offender clergy.
