300?!!!!!!! Fucking hell
Hmmm seems the article says they aren’t actually part of the abuse despite the title just part of the damages claim.
That is extremely damning.
Not just 300 priests… but 300 priests of a singular congregation.
Edit: Was wrong in my assumption. It’s naming 300 people in various roles in the Christian Brothers newspaper ad because the congregation refuses to put forward a representative from the organisation to communicate to the media. It’s not 300 child abusers.
christian brothers, swimming coaches, there are a lot of bad people out there & am sure still are but nowadays have less opportunity with better safeguards in place
Saw one of my old teachers was named a few years ago. Was very strange. He, a Christian brother, literally thought us sex education in religion class.
He didn’t do anything nefarious during my school years, he was fairly old, but reading about what he’d done previously and subsequently be convicted of was sickening.
He was also one of those that was always going on about Zambia and his trips over in his younger years. I’ve never googled it but I can only imagine kids over there faced the same levels of abuse from disgusting pricks like this one.
Good, we need to take decisive action in trying to get information on the abuse that happened in Christian Brothers schools
Twenty years since the Brothers were teaching. Most of them must be dead or will be before any legal proceedings finish.
I went to the CB’s back in the early eighties. 5 years and nothing weird ever happened to me or my friends, just saying. We were well aware of the dodgy stuff.
Good
I want to shake that judge by the hand. Bold move and she’s right, beating around the bush far too long on the subject. Bring them all before the court. If they weren’t involved in the abuses they were at least turning a blind eye, if not complicit in the cover up.
It’s always the ones you least suspect eh?
Finding out years later about a teacher you trusted is properly gutting. The Zambia trips being a cover makes it even worse.
How does the judge have this power to decide to name people in a newspaper ad, the majority of which are not guilty of anything.
That too seems like an abuse.
I can’t read it – what does, ‚Move follows ‘morally bankrupt’ legal strategy adopted by congregation against damages claims for past child abuse‘ mean? The congregation were involved in keeping money from victims?
