There is nothing ‘historical’ about the child
abuse I suffered 45 years ago – the kind your order now seems to want
to forget all about. My anguish continues. A reader writes an open letter to Br Hugh O’Neill, superior general of the Congregation of Christian Brothers, in Rome
Dear Superior General, – Only last year, in my late
50s, I woke up to the exact nature and general effects of abuse I
suffered at the hands of two of your Christian Brothers here in Ireland
before I was 12. One is dead, the other alive in Ireland and living a
secular life outside your congregation.
