"...no church or state guidelines..." HOW ABOUT THE WAY OF CHRIST?

---

"The church also points out that in 1975, "no state or church guidelines for responding to allegations of child abuse existed in Ireland". "
Abuse victims' campaigner Marie Collins, who was raped at the age of 13 by a hospital chaplain in Dublin, said Cardinal Brady should resign. "I'm amazed no bishops have come out and said he should go," she said. "We have priests and theologians being silenced by the Vatican -they can act against people whose views they feel are liberal, but they will not act against someone who not only endangered children but let them be abused. "If Cardinal Brady came out and espoused the view that women should be ordained, he'd be gone within hours."
Gary O'Sullivan, editor of the Irish Catholic newspaper, said ... "If a child can see the need to save other children, how come priests, ministers of Christianity, cannot have the same awareness?"

...no church or state guidelines????

The Word of God is the guideline. Christ taught it, lived it, was killed for it, and was resurrected for it!
....to love and serve the One True Creator Father and to love our fellowman in the righteousness of Our Father... this also includes to love, care for, and protect children.

But, instead it was more important for the leaders of the Roman General church to protect its self interest.
