THE Catholic Bishop of Sale has apologised to victims of child abuse in a statement in the June issue of the church newspaper Catholic Life.
Bishop Christopher Prowse said the criminal activity of abusers filled him with “utter contempt” and described abusers within the church as “Judas’s”.
“Over the years, I have sat with victims and listened to their horrendous testimonies,” he wrote.
“Their experience of abuse as children has sickened me.
“Their bravery and survivor instincts have inspired me.
“Their pain continues.”
