Catholic Church apologises to victims of abuse

THE Catholic Church in Scotland has issued a “profound apology” for decades of child abuse as survivors described a landmark report into the issue as a “whitewash”. 
In a statement made during a mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Glasgow yesterday, Scotland’s most senior Catholic archbishop, Philip Tartaglia, begged forgiveness from victims, saying the Church had been “shamed and pained” by what had happened.
