	Repent over Sex Abuse, Says Bishop Irish Independent September 26, 2009 http://www.independent.ie/national-news/repent-over-sex-abuse-says-bishop-1897401.html Clerical sexual abuse has cast a cloud over part of our history and the Catholic Church must recognise that and repent in a real way that shows the colour of their sincerity, a Catholic bishop said yesterday. Bishop Eamonn Walsh, speaking at a 'Violence in Irish Society' seminar in Dublin yesterday, said it was understandable that there might be cynicism on the part of the public when the Catholic Church engages with the issue of violence against children. "Some might say who is the Catholic Church to talk when members of the clergy have violated the most innocent in our society," said Bishop Walsh at the event in the Mater Dei Institute in Drumcondra. "However, the Catholic Church should not be muzzled by this history — that would be cowardly — but must continue to speak our message loud and clear," he said.
