DUBLIN, Ireland — Police officers, government officials and bishops of the Catholic church in Ireland have been harshly censured in a report on clerical child abuse over three decades in the Archdiocese of Dublin. Coming just a few months after an equally harsh report on the ill-treatment of children in Church-run industrial schools, the latest revelations have shocked Catholics and non-Catholics alike throughout the island.
An official commission investigated 320 allegations against a sample of 46 out of 183 priests from 1975 to 2004. It found that several cardinals and bishops protected criminal priests while taking no action to protect children.
Responding to the report, Ireland’s Justice Minister Dermot Ahern said that “the era where evil people could do so under the cover of the cloth, facilitated and shielded from the consequences by their authorities, while the lives of children were ruined with such cruelty, is over for good.” He added: “The bottom line is this: A collar will protect no criminal.”

You never say anything about public school teachers? They molest children exponentially more than Priests but still you remain silent.

It makes me think that you have an agenda that really isn't about kids. And then you use that ridicules avatar as though you actually think you're being clever. You're not. That is like from the 80's for Avant garde so you really are not looking too cool there either.
Nobody cares what you think about Christianity either way but the way you protest makes me think that mommy or daddy bent you over their knee and made you recite scripture.
What on EARTH made you so intolerant of people who don't think like you? That's the weird part.
