The Church is at a breaking point over the child sex abuse scandals says Dublin’s outspoken Archbishop Diarmuid Martin on Sunday’s “60 Minutes”, the most popular news show on television.
Martin tells CBS reporter Bob Simon that it is entirely due to the child sex abuse scandal. “Now is not the time to forget,” he says.
“There’s a real danger today of people saying, ‘The child abuse scandal is over. Let’s bury it. Let’s move on,’” he tells Simon.
“It isn’t over. Child protection and the protection of children is something that will go on…for the rest of our lives and into the future. Because the problems are there,” says the archbishop.
Bob Simon’s report looks at how the sexual abuse scandal in Ireland has transformed the way of life.
