The Pope, or Cardinal Ratzinger as he was at the time, spoke about truth and argued that the truth must be pursued. There is a hierarchy in the Vatican which acted to cover up that truth and intervene in Cloyne. That was completely inappropriate. Words without matching action are hollow and hypocritical, and we have had enough of that.

I had much more to say but I now wish the State well in ensuring that never again can this happen to our innocents, our children. I deeply regret not having enough time to speak in that respect.
