The Catholic Church has had hundreds of years to sort out child abusers
The Catholic Church has had hundreds of years to sort out child abusers, but as recently as a decade ago it merely moved them to another parish rather than tackle the root problem.
The McLellan Commission, to review abuse within the Catholic Church, consisted of 11 persons of note to pontificate on this abhorrence. The Very Reverend Dr Andrew McLellan was himself a Church of Scotland minister prior to resigning to become Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons from 2002 to 2009; only to be reinstated by the Church of Scotland after his time away.
