Abuse survivors have criticised the Catholic Church for tokenism and a “lack of humility” and called for priests accused of child abuse to be named, as the Bishops Conference attempted to draw a line under the issue.
The comments came as the Church published new guidelines, titled “In God’s Image“, as a final response to the the 2015 McLellan Commission and its findings.
The independent commission, headed by former moderator of the Church of Scotland the Very Reverend Dr Andrew McLellan, called for sweeping changes to the church’s practices for protecting children and vulnerable people in parishes and demanded a prioritising of support for survivors.
