This sad story is another example of the harm that the evil clergy-pedophile scandal continues to bring down on the church. The bishops are interested in staying out of jail, preserving their much loved "authority," and money. Apparently, they don't care about their priests any more than the children who have been harmed, not to mention the laity. Pope Francis and his successors will need to replace the hierarchy with pastors rather than "nobility" for the church to have a future in Ireland -- and everywhere else.
