Madam, – Cardinal Seán Brady says that the bishops are meeting survivors before going to Rome (Home News, January 29th). Isn’t it a tad late to be using clergy abuse victims as publicity fodder to try to drive the message “we care”?
Having met Cardinal Brady last year and given him and others who came with him my book on survivors’ experiences, The Courage to Tell, I have heard not one single response from them since. It was as if those who wrote of their experiences had vanished into the ether.
So what does Cardinal Brady mean when he says bishops are meeting survivors? Let’s hear the results! – Yours, etc,
