Report said Catholic Church was inept, self-serving and for 10 years displayed no obvious concern for welfare of children

Former priest Father Bill Carney raped Paul Dwyer when he was 13

He was named as one of the worst cases in Dublin's Catholic diocese in the Murphy report into clerical abuse there.

Murphy report into the cover up by the Catholic Church and Irish state of clerical sex abuse was published in November 2009.

It described Carney as "a serial sexual abuser of children, male and female", saying that there had been complaints and suspicions "in respect of 32 named individuals" about him, adding that "there is evidence he abused many more children".

We now know that complaints about Carney were diverted away from the Irish criminal justice system to Bishop James Kavanagh.

Bishop Kavanagh did what he could to protect Carney from the law to avoid scandal for the Church.

One conscientious policeman, praised in the Murphy Report, did investigate complaints and they came to court.

But the press were kept away as Carney pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault and got probation.

Six families were paid compensation and Carney was soon back working, with access to children.

In 1992, the Church convicted Carney internally, under Canon law, of child sexual abuse.

But this compulsive paedophile refused to leave the parish house.

So the Church paid him £30,000 to go away.
 
Sex Offender's Act came to force in 2003 - 

Father Carney was convicted of ''Indecent assault'' in two cases before 2003

And therefore he will NOT be in the  Sex Offenders Register.

Carney meanwhile remains free to disappear beneath the radar.

[[[ The Catholic Bishop cared only for the ''Sex Offending Priest''  and  his ''Catholic Church''  and NOT  for the safety of Children ]]]

[[[ Many either leave or ignore the Catholic Church in revulsion of these unmarried Priests ]]]
