11. To my brother bishops
Only decisive action carried out with complete honesty and transparency will restore the respect and good will of the Irish people towards the Church to which we have consecrated our lives. This must arise, first and foremost, from your own self-examination, inner purification and spiritual renewal. The Irish people rightly expect you to be men of God, to be holy, to live simply, to pursue personal conversion daily.
12. To all the faithful of Ireland I am praying earnestly that, by God’s grace, the wounds afflicting so many individuals and families may be healed and that the Church in Ireland may experience a season of rebirth and spiritual renewal.
I must say I don't think that the excerpts I have posted show much of an apology,rather more of " we were caught out,and now how can we blackmail the faithful into swallowing our decisions"?
His letter seems more concerned with "pray about it and it will all be better",than addressing the fact that many of thes religious abusers are still in power(in many countries).
He hopes this will now go away,when it is only just really starting!
Apologies,I didn't realise how long this post would be! LOL
