With the public release of the Irish abuse report (Diocese of Dublin) commissioned by the Irish government (a.k.a. Murphy Report), scores of stories are pouring in from all parts of the western media world opening up a view of a segment of the Church that covered up decades of abuse of hundreds of children “perpetrated by people with a sacred calling who betrayed the trust placed in them,” .
The Murphy Report is the result of the public inquiries conducted by the Irish government into the sexual abuse scandal in Dublin archdiocese.
It was released 4 years after the Ferns report (25th october 2005) a few months after the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (Ryan Report), a similar inquiry which dealt with abuses in schools controlled by Catholic religious orders in Ireland. The findings in published news stories of the Murphy report characterize the acts of Church leadership in the diocese as “reprehensible,” “sickening,” “truly shocking and disturbing”; and that is the kindest language used.
But the report also points to “the State’s equally reprehensible collusion in this,”
Uma mosca sem valor
Poisa c'o a mesma alegria
na careca de um doutor
como em qualquer porcaria.
