1 News: Joe Little, Religious & Social Affairs Correspondent, reports on Archbishop Diarmuid Martin's remarks to the Irish Association of Priests last night
The Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin, has said the full dimensions of clerical abuse scandals may still not have emerged.
In a speech to the National Conference of Priests in Dromantine, Co Down, last night, Dr Martin said more than one generation had been, in effect, unchurched.
He added that the power-seeking priest would find very little echo in the hearts of young faith-seekers.
Dr Martin also said openness should replace much of the secrecy surrounding the appointments of clergy in the Catholic Church.
