Irish bishop damned by report of child sex abuse apologizes from American hideaway.
The Bishop damned by the latest report into child sex abuse by religious in Ireland has apologized – from an American bolthole.

Dr John Magee, the former Bishop in the Diocese of Cloyne at the heart of the latest scandal, has been damned by the latest judicial enquiry.

The report also contains allegations that the Bishop was reported for kissing an altar boy during his time in the diocese.

Bishop Magee, currently believed to be in hiding in the United States, issued a statement apologising for ‘failing all those who were abused by priests in the Diocese of Cloyne’.

3. In the midst of that story a link--Limerick woman dies after sex with dog
OMG!...that may just be the most diversionary tactic ever employed.

5. Look what else is there.
Legislation is pending that would strip clergy, lawyers and doctors from maintaining confidentiaslity.

"Doctors and lawyers are also covered under the new laws despite professional oaths of patient and client confidentiality."

4. It would be great if he could be found and shipped back there.
I wonder who is hiding him here in the US?
