More than 50 priests in England and Wales
have been defrocked for clerical sex abuse since 2001, new figures show.
There have been 55 laicisations since 2001 - meaning they have been
evicted from the clergy - after new rules were put in place to protect
children and vulnerable adults in the Catholic Church.
But the Church, which has been rocked by a series of historic abuse
scandals, received many more complaints of sexual misconduct against the
clergy.http://www.archindy.org/criterion/local/2015/07-31/arrest.html
