Report from the Catholic News Service here.

Meanwhile the Amnesty indictment found that the Irish Government:

failed to implement a number of commitments it made in 2009 following the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse.

This included a failure to introduce draft legislation to give child protection guidelines a statutory basis.

by the year’s end, the Holy See had again failed to submit its second periodic report on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, due in 1997, and the initial report on the UN Convention against Torture, due in 2003

Amnesty found there was:

increasing evidence of widespread child sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy over the past decades, and the enduring failure of the Catholic Church to address these crimes properly, continued to emerge in various countries

Such failures included:

not removing alleged perpetrators from their posts pending proper investigations, not co-operating with judicial authorities to bring them to justice and not ensuring proper reparation to victims

Vatican norms maintain the imposition of “pontifical secret” on the church’s judicial handling of clerical sex abuse and other grave crimes, which means they are dealt with in strict confidentiality.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, has said that the provision on the secrecy of trials was designed “to protect the dignity of everyone involved.

Everyone except the victims and their families, of course!
