Allegations of sexual abuse at a Catholic seminary school in Yorkshire have surfaced this week, after a British man confronted a priest in Italy.
Mark Murray (pictured above), 59, secretly filmed an encounter with Father Romano Nardo, 73, from the Verona Fathers, who, he says, sexually abused him at Mirfield trainee school for priests in Yorkshire in the 1970s.
The short clip was posted online by Italian newspaper La Repubblica and you can hear Mr Murray tell Father Nardo: “You have had a massive, negative impact on my life and my family and my children. I tried many times to meet with you.
“Romano Nardo, do you know who I am? I think you do. Mark Murray. Do you remember me?”
In the video, you can hear Father Nardo mumble: “If it is my fault that you bear a heavy cross, I believe I should ask the Lord for forgiveness. I’m sorry. I’m very sorry.”
