A 9 year inquiry into alleged child abuse at Catholic institutions in Ireland finally gave its findings yesterday. It found that there was rampant sexual, physical and emotional abuse, dished out at the hands of members of the Catholic church, spreading back almost 70 years. This in itself isn't WTF, but this is -

No one will be prosecuted. This is a fucking disgrace. One of the catholic organisations, the Christian Brothers managed to sue the makers of the report, forcing them to omit the names of those suspected.

As one of the victims said "I would have never opened my wounds if I'd known this was going to be the end result. It has devastated me and will devastate most victims because there are no criminal proceedings and no accountability whatsoever." This is a travesty.
