A:In several cases that I am aware of, the victims have been boys aged around ten and eleven years old. This is probably about the average age at which paedophile priests begin to prey on the young children.

Where do most cases of Catholic abuse happen?

A:Most cases of Catholic child abuse happen because there is a culture in which they can happen, and because there has been little deterrent to potential perpetrators. Priests or lay teachers can abuse a child in his or her own home, in schools, even churches, and especially on camping trips or the like. Anywhere the child can be alone, even for a few minutes, with a paedophile priest, he is at risk. Although most priests are entirely innocent of paedophilia, no parent can know whether a priest is or is not a paedophile.

Why is the Catholic Church and Cardinal Sean Brady in denial of Child Abuse?

The Catholic Church does not deny the Child Abuse - Fr. Brendan Smyth was the abuser. The subject causing controversy is that Cardinal Sean Brady was aware of this and did not do much about it. The Catholic Church are very particular about Child Abuse, Especially in America, where child abuse cases are more common. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State, tried to explain how complicated these cases can be. He said; "if a priest cannot confide in his bishop for fear of being denounced then it would mean that there is no more liberty of conscience". But, the Catholic Church insists a "demand that a bishop be obligated to contact police to denounce a priest who had admitted paedophilia". Cardinal Sean Brady is in the wrong for not taking the situation further.
