Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin yesterday declined to publicly back embattled All-Ireland primate Cardinal Sean Brady.
Dr Brady has kept a relatively low profile since new allegations emerged of the handling of child abuse concerns raised about notorious paedophile cleric Fr Brendan Smyth.
With just weeks to go to the 50th Eucharistic Congress, Archbishop Martin said the challenges facing the church were not about just one person.
“Cardinal Brady has said that he is staying and that he has lots of support from people; I’ve never commented and I don’t know any thing of those details,” he said. Asked if he supported Cardinal Brady, Dr Martin replied: “I’ve made no comments on other bishops.”
