Mi pare importante la parte in cui Allen cita Padre Lombardi.

Nel 2005 il contestato vescovo Magee segnalò un caso alla Gardai (Polizia Irlandese). Questa non informò però l'autorità competente per l'infanzia.

Importante:

In that light, the 1997 letter seems less a statement of Vatican policy than an expression of what would eventually be the losing side in an internal Vatican power struggle.
In a statement released late on Tuesday, American attorney Jeffrey Lena, who represents the Vatican in sex abuse cases in American courts, said the 1997 letter “has been deeply misunderstood.”
In fact, Lena said, its main purpose “was to help ensure that bishops who discipline their priests for sexual abuse did so in a manner that would ensure that the priest not avoid punishment based upon technical grounds.”
Further, Lena said, “the letter nowhere instructed Irish Bishops to disregard civil law reporting requirements.”
In a similar vein, the Vatican spokesperson, Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi, said the letter “correctly insists on the importance that canonical legislation be respected, precisely so that guilty parties not have a basis to appeal.”
The “moral and canonical concerns” mentioned in the letter, Lombardi said, concern the sacrament of confession.
Indirectly, Lombardi also said that the 1997 letter was written before the late Pope John Paul II put Ratzinger in charge of the Vatican’s response to the sexual abuse crisis in 2001, a decision which Vatican-watchers regarded as a defeat for the more ambivalent line associated with Castrillón Hoyos.
