Order of Business

Today is the first day of Lent. The statement from the Vatican yesterday is a sorry start to this religious season. It is very disappointing for the victims of abuse that their main concerns were not dealt with at the meeting in the Vatican. It is very clear that pomp and circumstance are not what they want; they want a real response to the issues they raised. They are particularly disappointed that the question of a cover-up has not been dealt with in the discussions so far. I hope it will be dealt with later and that they will feel satisfied.
