in the catholic church and the years of cover ups in an open letter to the world's one point two billion catholics the pope has urged them to help more type priests who prey on children becomes an international research group has just released a list of child sex abuse is not an catholic church on the internet or colm o'gorman is the director of amnesty international in ireland and the say a victim of section of these within the church told us the pope's apology isn't enough for victims and for their families. the statement on today is welcome it goes further and use a stronger language than we've ever we've ever seen before but i think we have to put this in some context i mean the problem is that the bar has been set so low by the catholic church which for decades dismissed the idea idea that abuse was even happening accuse those of us who spoke out about the systemic nature of the cover up of slander of being anti-catholic accuse the media of media of an anti catholic bias and denied all of this for years so the acknowledgement of the fact that all

of this has happened the acknowledgement finally that there was a cover up and part of the church's welcome but unfortunately at no point in the pope's very lengthy two page letter does the acknowledge the vatican's responsibility for that cover up he talks about a culture of clericalism about systems that allowed all of this to happen but it doesn't simply and honestly and truthfully finally acknowledged that those were systems that were put in place and underpinned by canon law by church law that these were policies willfully and deliberately implemented by the catholic church at the global level by the vatican by his successors and he begs for forgiveness but he doesn't say for wash so i'm sorry to say that was the language is stronger it doesn't go anything like far enough. the spread of disease has become a new worry for rescue workers in the southern indian state of kerala one and a half million people forced from their homes after the worst flooding in a century and eight hundred fifty thousand people are living in temporary relief
