Bishop Murray Resignation Probable Bishop of Limerick Donal Murray has travelled to Rome, where it is thought he will tender his resignation to the Pope. By Pat Holland Irish World December 7, 2009 http://www.theirishworld.com/article.asp?SubSection_Id=2&Article_Id=12186 IRELAND--The potential move follows criticism of the bishop in the Murphy report into clerical child sex abuse in the Dublin Catholic Archdiocese. No official announcement has been made, though yesterday he told parishioners he was 'reflecting on the decision he now has to make'.
On Saturday Cardinal Seán Brady urged all named in the report to act soon in light of the Commission's findings that cover-ups of clerical child abuse had taken place in the Dublin Archdiocese. Cardinal Brady is set to travel to the Vatican City next week to discuss the Murphy report with Pope Benedict. He will be accompanied by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. |
