Following the failed attempt to obstruct the
historic child abuse inquiry in Scotland, Keith Porteous Wood exposes
the continuing reluctance of the Catholic Church to face up to and pay
for its crimes.
Two orders of nuns have sought
and failed to frustrate the appointment of the chair of the Scottish
child abuse inquiry. Maybe they hoped no one would notice their shocking
record of heinous abuse and ponder on their motives. As could be
expected from the Scottish Catholic hierarchy's brazen and disgraceful
record on denial and covering up abuse, it conspicuously did not
distance itself from the appointment challenge.
