Words are words and if they are not backed by actions then they are pretty meaningless when senior officials or clergy are publicly held to account for the covering up of this issue for so many years then i might take this apology more seriously. So far i have seen a lot of money thrown about a lot of words said about the issue only when they had no choice and a few sacrificial lambs thrown to authorities nothing of any real substance.
My sympathy in all of this is with the victims not the church and they desrve a hell of a lot more then they have had.

Yes, you're quite right, it won't change the past (obviously). However "prevention - better than cure" would also apply in this situation. For your information Rizzyking this is not the end of the affair but rather the start of action on the part of the catholic church (specific to Ireland I hasten to add) so you might yet get the blood you are baying for. Here's hoping.
