Survivor demands resignation of Archbishop over Cardinal invite
A clerical child sex abuse survivor has called for the leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland to resign.
In 2010, Cardinal Brady denied accusations of a "cover up" when it became known he attended meetings in the 1970s where two abused teenagers signed vows of silence over complaints against the notorious sex offender Fr Brendan Smyth, who was jailed in 1990s for child abuse. Sean Faloon, a survivor of child sex abuse, highlighted the resignation of Bishop John McAreavey in 2018, as he called for Archbishop Martin to step down.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Mr Faloon described the invite to Cardinals Brady and Dolan as a "two-fingered salute to survivors of sex abuse and child rape in the Catholic Church". "Think of it this way, McAreavey resigned in 2018 one day after it was put out what he did not do [with regards to Fr Finnegan].
Chris O'Leary, who said he was abused by the late Fr Leroy Valentine in St Loius, USA, also spoke to Belfast Live about Cardinal Dolan's involvement in the Mass in Armagh.
