Resignations
More bishops resign
Michael Cook | 23 April 2010
Bishops around the world are beginning to resign over various degrees of involvement in the sex abuse scandal. Bishop Jim Moriarty of Kildare and Leighlin has become the third Irish bishop to resign. Although he was not named in the scathing Murphy report over sex abuse in the Dublin archdiocese, he admitted that he had failed to challenge the prevailing culture when he was an auxiliary bishop from 1991 to 2002.
