Pope Benedict XVI has apologised to victims of sex abuse

Victims" groups in Ireland pronounced that the minute fell "far short" of what they had hoped for.

"We feel the minute falls far short of addressing the concerns of the victims," pronounced Maeve Lewis, senior manager executive of victims" organisation One in Four.

Full content of minute announcing review of Irish dioceses Pope"s minute is a notice to Germany, says Archbishop Pope apologises to victims of sex abuse by priests Pope Benedict"s minute in full Pope"s reparation fails to prove Irish sex abuse victims Pope apologises to Irish kid abuse victims

One in Four wants the Pope to contend "clearly and unequivocally" that the church "at the top levels" had regularly well known about the ecclesiastic passionate abuse of children.

"Victims were anticipating for an confirmation of the smutty ways in that they have been treated with colour as they attempted to move their practice of abuse to the courtesy of the Church authorities," pronounced Ms Lewis.

"The miss of an reparation to them in this courtesy is hurtful in the extreme."

She pronounced the Pope"s minute focused as well narrowly on lower-ranked Irish priests but recognising the shortcoming of the Vatican.

The minute additionally does not call for the abdication of the head of the Church in Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady, that victims groups have demanded, Ms Lewis said.

Cardinal Brady was dragged in to the liaison this week when he apologised "with all my heart" for in attendance meetings in 1975 where kid victims of a scandalous paedophile clergyman were sworn to secrecy.

He has so far refused to crawl to vigour from victims" groups to quit, but pronounced that he would be reflecting delicately on his on all sides in the entrance weeks.

After the announcement of the minute Cardinal Brady pronounced he hoped the request would move about "a deteriorate of rebirth" in the Church, and described it as "a ancestral day".

Speaking in Saint Patrick"s Cathedral, Armagh, in Northern Ireland, Cardinal Brady pronounced "No one imagines that the benefaction unpleasant incident will be resolved quickly.

"Yet with perseverance, request and operative together in unity, the Holy Father says we can be assured that the Church in Ireland will experience a deteriorate of change of heart and devout renewal."

John Kelly, of Survivors of Child Abuse (SOCA), who himself was intimately abused as a kid in the scandalous Daingean Catholic caring home, pronounced that whilst he welcomed aspects of the letter, it left most questions unanswered.

"Is the Pope right away observant we will have a inhabitant exploration in to abuse in all the dioceses?" he said, referring to Benedict"s avowal that priests and eremite workers guilty of kid abuse "must answer" for their crimes "before scrupulously constituted tribunals".

"Does he meant that those who committed the abuse and those who lonesome up have to obey themselves to the military to face the rapist probity system?" Mr Kelly asked.

"In short, the simple subject is; are the victims expected to get probity as a outcome of what the pope has said?"

Victim abuse supporter Christine Buckley, who was abused by nuns in the Goldenbridge Industrial School in Dublin, pronounced that the Pope should have privately apologised to victims of institutional abuse in Ireland.

"The total issue of institutional abuse has been forgotten. We were the lost children," she pronounced

Meanwhile Austrian victims of maltreatment or passionate abuse by Catholic preaching are deliberation a category movement opposite the Church, the every day Der Standard reported.

Viennese counsel Werner Schostal told the paper the victims had combined an organisation "Victims opposite Church violence" to capacitate them to take authorised movement and direct up to 80,000 euros (�72,000) in indemnification per victim.

He pronounced the total was fit in cases of aggravated abuse over multiform years.

"In a initial instance, we are going find an out-of-court settlement. But if the Church doesn"t denote that it"s ready to reach an agreement, or if the sums they suggest are as well low, we will launch a grave action," he said.

The newly combined victims" association, that estimates that hundreds of people are endangered and will stick on their ranks, is deliberation movement opposite dual bishops who are suspected of abusing scarcely twenty young kids in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

According to a check carried out this week between a deputy representation of 704 people, published by Der Standard, 74 per cent of Austrians hold the Church will not strew light on all paedophile cases in the news.

More than thirty per cent of Catholics in this infancy Catholic nation has deliberate withdrawal the Church over the revelations, the paper said, even if usually one per cent so far has essentially finished so.
