About once a year we hear either allegations or real stories about priests of the Catholic Chúrch sexually abusing children. This year is no different, with the story about Irish children being abused by priests. At least Pope Benedict has called it 'serious mistakes' and sent out a letter of apology on behalf of the Catholic Church. With representatives for the victims in the charity group One in Four calling for the Catholic Church to co-operate with the secular authorities on the issue. One in Four refers to a charity organisation founded by Colm O'Gorman in 1999 in London that helps voice the stories about the sex abuses in the Catholic Church. According to statistics about one in four (27 percent) children within the church have been abused. At least saying 'sorry' is better than no remorse or no response. Paradoxically, it would appear that saying 'sorry' is easier than asking for permission. Or is it really the other way around?
