Your post needs to be removed by AFR.You just said ‘Maybe he should have followed it up’. Maybe. Really D2.
What you said is both disturbing and disgusting and basically says that a man who was in power in the Church knew about children that were being raped but passed on info and then wiped his hands saying thats fine now ive done my Job! Bullsh*te!! Would you? Would you tell your Principal that kids were being raped and then do nothing when this continued for decades ALL OVER THE COUNTRY and think to yourself it will solve itself?. You are a educated man and know what this horrible horrible organisation has done to Ireland yet you still come out and say that the likes of Brady were innocent to all of this. If I had my way the man would be in JAIL. Knowing about children being abused and not acting about it and reporting it as criminal behaviour IS JUST AS BAD.Silence D2, Silence and fear is a disease. I know only too well about issue and the effects of it on peoples lives. I worry about your moral beliefs and find it absolutely horrific to think that there is somebody in Ireland who actually thinks that this man should still have a position of power a while I am of the opinion he should be in jail. People in ireland call on bankers to be jailed for embezzling funds but no one is screaming for the likes of Brady to be charged for overseeing child abuse.

I didn't say anything about the cardinal breaking laws or about Ireland in particular. However, it is obvious that the Catholic church put their own Canon law first and have had no issue historically ignoring the laws of any country they operate in as they believe they are above such laws. It is only when they started to be hauled before the courts and had to pay huge financial penalties (in the U.S. for example) that they started to take the issue of child abuse seriously.

Brady passed it along as he was supposed to.

No - he didn't. Why didn't he pass it along to the Gardaí? Why didn't he pass it along to the parents of those who were being abused?You've made a dreadful fool of yourself on this one D2. Did you actually watch the program Dara Macintyre made?There is procedure and there are rights for those accused of even the most henious crimes, but there is also a moral unwritten code of right and wrong, which surely dictates that you would move heaven and earth, risking your collar if necessary, to ensure that children were not sexually abused.
