SURVIVORS OF clerical child sex abuse have reacted angrily to the news that Pope Benedict has rejected the resignation of two Dublin auxiliary bishops named in the Murphy report.

Note the use of the term “survivors“, for that is vitally important.

Many victims of Vatican sanctioned and enable slavery, brutal torture and infant rape have either elected to commit “suicide” (in this case, a euphemism for murder by other means) or have died of old-age waiting in vain for at least an apology or even compensation, let alone any form of justice being meted out to their captors, torturers and rapists.

This nefandous group includes vicious callous evil nuns as well as pederast priests.

“Since the Murphy report was published, the Catholic Church in Ireland and at Vatican level has failed to take responsibility for the findings of that report, in particular the finding that sexual abuse of children by priests was covered up by archbishops and bishops for decades,” said survivor Andrew Madden
