A Catholic bishop in the West today claimed that psychologists and psychiatrists failed the church hierarchy by advising them that priests who sexually abused children could be treated not to re-offend.
Dr Thomas Flynn, Bishop of Achonry, a diocese covering parts of Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon, said bishops referred such incidents to professionals at the time for counselling, assessment and advice.
