STATEMENT ON THE FERNS REPORT

IRELAND
Voice of the Faithful Ireland

by Francis D. Murphy, Helen Buckley, and Larain Joyce,
to the Irish Minister for Health and Children

The Ferns report marks the conclusive failure of the system and attitude by which our Church hierarchy have chosen to govern our Church since Vatican II. The failure to put in place structures that would have allowed a culture of openness, equal dignity, dialogue and enlightenment to develop has meant that a culture of deference, denial, inertia and secrecy was allowed to flourish in its place.
