@Elfleda this wasnt a rant against child abusers per se but an attack on the abhorrent attitude of Archbishop Hart.
In Roman Catholic law, a priest cannot under any circumstances break the seal of the confessional, doing so subjects him to excommunication which is the point of this article, in this particular case, it involved child abuse, but in any circumstances where a law has been broken, the perpetrator is able to freely confess knowing that mo relevent authorities will be informed. This is putting religious law above the law of the land. If this were Muslims applying Sharia law above the law of the land there would be uproar. The difference is ?
There is currently a concerted lobbying campaign by worldwide secularist, atheist and humanist groups around the world in respect to the holy sees investigation into confessional sanctity, but thanks anyway for googling his address :-)
