The bishop of Limerick has called on members of the Catholic Church who are “hiding some dark secret” to report abuse to State and Church authorities.
Speaking at the annual retreat of the Syro-Malabar community from India at the Limerick Racecourse this Saturday, Bishop Brendan Leahy also called on members of public and victims to report abuse.
This is the fourth time in a number of weeks the Limerick bishop has acknowledged the abuse caused by the Catholic Church. He delivered two speeches in the lead up to Pope Francis’ visit, and this is now the second statement he has released this week, reflecting on the pontiff’s historic visit.
