From the Sunday Independent, 6 December 2009:

Cardinal Sean Brady yesterday heaped further pressure on the Bishop of Limerick over his handling of child sexual abuse complaints while he worked in Dublin.

The Catholic Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh said he had been in contact with Dr Murray and was confident that the bishop would "do the right thing".

The pressure on Dr Murray to stand aside intensified considerably after Cardinal Sean Brady publicly expressed his unease over the contents of the report, and the controversy surrounding individuals criticised in it.

Asked what he would have done if he had discovered that his actions had in any way led to the abuse of a child, Cardinal Brady said: "If I found myself in a situation where I was aware that my failure to act had allowed or meant that other children were abused, then I think I would resign."

I think his position is untenable for a number of reasons:

1) The position he stated above  - he is hoist with his own petard;
2) Fr Brendan Smyth - he's the iconic molester;
3) The closeness of Cardinal Brady to the events and people, the children, the silence, the oath;
4) Not letting the Pope know this was coming;
5) The Nuremburg excuse;
6) Doesn't know how to wear a pecoral cross.
