castling Cardinal Brady, the victims get the fuss 
LONDON .- (AGENCIALAVOZ.ORG) Cardinal Sean Brady has broken his silence. But not to announce his resignation but to say that not resign. An attitude that has aroused the indignation of the associations of victims of pedophile priests, calling his removal for months.
Brady is Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of the Irish Catholic Church. Two charges were reluctant to leave despite the statements of his colleagues on the island and buried the pressures of the Holy See, which in recent months have tried to remove from circulation by covering up a pederast priest three decades ago.
The events date back to 1975: a time when Archbishop Brady was not only priest and schoolmaster. It was to cover up the atrocities of Brendan Smyth: The most famous pedophile Ireland. A priest convicted of 74 cases of child abuse and died in prison in 1997. A Brady he had to talk to a 14 year old girl and a boy of 10 who had abused the pederast and wrest a vow of silence. The offender is let out and continued abusing children in Ireland and the USA.
As the storm has intensified, Brady has been recoiling. At first, took a defiant attitude. Then he apologized to his parishioners and a confirmation ceremony collapsed and had to be taken to a hospital. For a while he said he did not think resigning. Then he said would reflect on his future during the Easter and Tuesday's statement is the fruit of that reflection.
Calls 'additional support' to the Pope
In it, Cardinal Brady resigns and calls the Pope "additional support" to work to develop "the vital work of healing, repentance and renewal and commitment to the survivors of abuse. " He added that in the years remaining in the archdiocese will deepen "in the progress that has been in the care of children."
According to the newspaper 'The Times', the Vatican would fit now two options: appoint an assistant bishop to help Brady in the management of the archdiocese or appoint a coadjutor who retire from their responsibility to save face and keeping him in office. The second option seems the most likely, but does not satisfy the victims' associations, for which Brady's resignation was the real proof of the will of the Holy See to clean the Irish Church.
Marie Collins, a spokesman for the victims, not surprised by the decision of Brady: "I had a meeting with him six weeks ago and gave me no sign that he felt remorse for having left a pederast free for 18 years." Brady
Castling is a problem for the Vatican, which wants to stage a revolution in the Irish church. Before Brady was the Bishop of Limerick Donal Murray, and of Cloyne, John Magee. The two cover up cases of child abuse and let accused priests to continue working with minors without complain to the police. That is, on issues similar to those now hanging over Brady, who then said both should resign and not have it now so clear to himself.
There is one detail to remember the ordeal of Cardinal Brady: his archdiocese is located in Northern Ireland. An important fact because so far only been investigated child abuse in the Republic of Ireland and not in any of the four dioceses of Ulster.
that taboo is likely to also fall in the coming months. Northern Ireland Government weighs the possibility and the Committee on Health Assembly Stormont has come to report their costs-about 44 million euros, and its time between three and five years.
