February 16, 2010
Following the Murphy Report, which revealed a catalogue of clerical child abuse and three decades of cover ups, unprecedented talks are under way with Pope Benedict XVI and 24 senior clergymen of the Irish Catholic Church. Michael O'Brien, an abuse survivor and former Fianna Fail politician has called on the Pope to apologise to the people of Ireland. Fail has said this is not just an Irish problem, this is a problem worldwide. It will be interesting to see how the Pope handles this shocking revelation, which has rocked the Catholic Church.
