Church admits failure over sisters' 'sadistic' abuse
The Church of England has apologised to three sisters who say they were "fobbed off" after reporting historical child sex abuse claims.
Jenny, Wendy and Christina Read said they were "frequently" abused as young children by their father, a female church warden and a male curate in night-time "sadistic rituals" at a north-east England church.
An independent review commissioned by the Church found the institution's failure to take action "compounded" the women's trauma, while Cleveland Police "missed opportunities" to investigate for which the force apologised.
Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury when two of the reports were made, said he regretted how he handled the allegations.

Read the full article, the church doing what it always does, ignoring complaints and protecting abusers. Apparently the 'Church is truly sorry' so that makes everything ok.
Calling them disgusting scum would be an insult to scum

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
