A priest is accusing the Scottish Catholic Church of protecting a senior cleric accused of sexual assault.
Another priest has revealed details of sexual misconduct in the Catholic Church, claiming he’s being punished for coming forward.
A priest who is being called Father Michael, as he wishes to remain anonymous, claims he is being kicked out of the church for reporting Father Paul Moore to the police in 1997 for sexual assault.
The church has no comment ‘due to the complex legal situation, criminal, civil and canonical’.
‘I woke to find Moore fondling me under the bedclothes,’ said Father Michael.
‘I placed a chair behind the door and would sometimes hear it rattling,’ he added.
