The Rt Rev Terence Brain said he was "shocked" by claims Monsignor Thomas Duggan, now dead, abused children in the 50s and 60s. Rt Rev Brain, Bishop of Salford, said: "Abusive behaviour has no place within the church and I am deeply sorry for the pain reported." But BBC's Mike Harding, 66, who exposed the alleged attacks at St Bede's College, Manchester, hit out at the "very guarded" apology.
