This issue has caused some divisions among the people in the church during the last election,

By and large the people in our parishes, ... the priests tell me they think that the steps the Bishops of this country have taken have done a great job and are meeting the crisis. We're doing a great educational outreach program trying to prevent abuse by clergy or anyone else.

Isn't it the case, ... that there were deep divisions inside the executive over the issue and rather than tell the prime minister that, the first minister chose to abdicate responsibility and stay completely silent.

I wasn't filled with dread when I came here but I knew there were problems I would have to address, ... I knew I was going into a very concentrated center that had some hot-button issues.

I'm astonished at what has happened,

In memory of children abused by clergy.
