Irish priests hit by abuse claims quote: More than 100 Catholic priests in the Dublin region of Ireland are suspected of having abused children in the last 66 years, according to a new report. The Archdiocese of Dublin's report said at least 350 children may have been abused in the region since 1940. So far, 32 priests in the archdiocese have been sued for damages by 105 victims, according to the report. The latest report marks the biggest admission of physical or sexual abuse by the Irish Catholic Church since the first such scandals erupted a decade ago.
Heard this awful news this evening on the radio. Just the thought of it sent shivers down my spine, and it still does... Hope these figures don't represent the situation worldwide..!
