THE controversy over allegations of
systematic child abuse at Catholic-run children’s homes in Scotland
erupted again yesterday, hours before the Most Rev Mario Conti was
installed as the Archbishop of Glasgow and leader of Scotland’s Catholic
community.
The devastated family of a dying man, who set himself ablaze
after being refused treatment at a psychiatric hospital in Aberdeen,
claimed their brother’s disturbed life was a legacy of the abuse he
suffered at a children’s home in the city which was run by nuns, and at
the hands of monks at another care home in Glasgow. http://www.scotsman.com/news/blaze-man-was-victim-of-abuse-at-catholic-homes-say-family-1-603715
