| [Iran Press TV Latest] Sex scandal allegations continue to surface in the Roman Catholic Church as Pope Benedict XVI accepts the resignation of a senior Irish bishop. Bishop of Cloyne in southern Ireland John Magee has been accused of mishandling complaints against Irish priests. The 73-year-old bishop resigned last March after a church report found his handling of abuse allegations had put children at risk of harm. Magee have apologized for his actions. Meanwhile, new sexual abuse allegations have surfaced against a priest in Pope Benedict's former diocese in Germany. The allegations against suspended Peter Hullermann date back to 1998. The Munich prosecutors' office has confirmed it is looking into the case. More than one-hundred reports of child abuse at Catholic institutions have emerged in recent weeks. |
