Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Dublin covered up decades of
child abuse by priests to protect the church's reputation, an expert
commission reported Thursday after a three-year investigation.
Abuse victims welcomed the report on the Dublin Archdiocese's mishandling of abuse complaints against its parish priests from 1975 to 2004. It followed a parallel report published in May into five decades of rape, beatings and other cruelty committed by Catholic orders of nuns and brothers nationwide in church-run children's workhouses and orphanages from the 1930s to mid-1990s.
