Child rape and abuse in the Catholic church in England and Wales ‘swept under the carpet’, inquiry finds. #OpDeathEaters theguardian.com/world/2020/nov…
Between 1970 and 2015, the church in England and Wales received more than 900 complaints involving more than 3,000 instances of child rape & abuse, made against more than 900 individuals, including priests, monks and volunteers. #OpDeathEaters
When complaints were made, the church invariably failed to support victims and survivors but took action to protect alleged perpetrators by moving them to a different parish. #OpDeathEaters
Pope Francis asked Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Catholic church in England and Wales, to stay in his post, despite a damning report that concluded that the church repeatedly prioritised its reputation over the welfare of child rape & abuse victims. #OpDeathEaters
