Two orders of priests have been criticised by the Irish Catholic Church’s child safeguarding watchdog for their attitude to clerical child sexual abuse.
The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church has said its review of the Salvatorians and the Blessed Sacrament Fathers produced “little evidence that the church’s own standards of child protection have been properly implemented”.
It said the Salvatorians were particularly poor in relation to the monitoring of an accused priest. And in a number of cases there was poor record-keeping.
