The scandal in Ireland over complaints of child abuse by Roman Catholic priests has led to an offer of resignation from another Bishop in the Church. After a damning report which found that Catholic leaders concealed child abuse, the Bishop of Kildare, James Moriarty announced he had offered his resignation to the Pope yesterday. Despite previously insisting he should not resign, Bishop Moriarty said he accepted that he should have challenged Church handling of abuse by priests.Bishop James Moriarty's resignation is the second by an Irish Bishop in the space of a week. It comes after a Government inquiry condemned the Church for failing to provide police with evidence for years in cases of child sex abuse by priests. The report subjected Bishop Moriarty to implied criticism for not doing enough to find out all the details about an alleged abuser.
