THE victim of a priest’s abuse says he cannot bring himself to forgive the Church and refuses to have his children baptised.
Former priest Patrick McCabe (77) pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to three counts of indecently assaulting the 13-year-old boy on two locations in Dublin between January 1 and September 31, 1979.
The court heard that the abuse took place in the parochial house of Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral during the Papal visit.
