| Untrue claims were made about Fr Kevin Reynolds |
The association was responding to the libel settlement made by RTE for a Prime Time Investigates programme that made a number of claims about Galway-based priest, Fr Kevin Reynolds, which turned out to be untrue.
A statement from the association this evening said the programme and independent research had revealed the bias of parts of the media that had led to a one-sided and unfair presentation of issues to do with the Catholic Church in recent years.
The statement says that for many years, priest and religious had been reluctant to engage in public debate on issues related to the church because they did not want to add to the suffering of genuine abuse victims, but also because they believed they would not get a fair hearing.
