Ten years ago I wrote this story: the eloquent voices of Nazareth House orphans.

The Catholic Church took no responsibility then for sexual abuse, harm and humiliation of very vulnerable young children in their care.

The Scottish hierarchy is in disgrace: homophobia,and priestly abuse have thrown it into crisis.The children it harmed are still waiting for the Church to confront its own history.

Don’t let anyone think the crisis is just about arch-bigot Cardinal O’Brien.
