Clerical Abuse in Ireland

Judge Yvonne Murphy's shattering report on the obsessive secrecy and culture of covering up sex abuse scandals in the Dublin archdiocese was every bit as bad as had been predicted, and sees the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland facing its greatest ever crisis after it was revealed that not only were thousands of children raped and abused by Catholic priests, many of them serial offenders, in the Dublin diocese over a 30-year period, but that the allegations of abuse were completely mishandled by both Church and State authorities.
We examine the implications in the light of God's Word and make a plea to those who may be devastated by the revelations to find hope and rest not in a corrupt Church but in the sinless Saviour of the World.
