Brady and Martin to travel to Vatican for meeting on abuse
Cardinal Sean Brady and Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin have been summoned to the Vatican to discuss the findings of the Dublin Archdiocese clerical child sex abuse report.
It is widely expected that the Bishop of Limerick, Donal Murray will resign his position to the Pope this week.
The Bishop of Limerick Dr Dónal Murray travelled to Rome to discuss his future and it is expected he will offer his resignation to Pope Benedict XVI in the coming days.
Calls have been made for Bishop Murray’s resignation since the publication of the Dublin diocesan report which criticised his handling of complaints against clergymen who were later found to have been involved in the sexual abuse of children.
The pressure increased on Bishop Murray on Saturday when Catholic primate Cardinal Seán Brady said he was confident Bishop Murray “would do the right thing”.
Meanwhile Pope Benedict XVI said he has invited Cardinal Sean Brady and Diarmuid Martin, Archbishop of Dublin, to a meeting on Friday to provide "information and an evaluation" following the publication of the Murphy report.
