Church's Hidden Shame

Above is the title to an article by Mary Kenny written in a newspaper back in May of 2009. A lot was going on in that particular month. She writes that she had no experience or knowledge of child sexual abuse for it had not come her way. On the same article with mature reflection and mental reservations a little further down the page, it turns out she did. This was the last paragraph:

'Actually, now that I think of it, I did once encounter a paedophile priest, though I didn't know it at the time. The meeting took place in Kensington, in London, on a summer evening after a mass a few years ago. I was with a friend "“ now dead "“ who introduced me to a small group of upper-class women, who were clustered around a handsome man in middle age, smoking a cigarette. Introductions were done by first names only, and after chatting cordially for a few moments, my friend Clare and I went off to a restaurant. She then confided to me that the silver-haired man had been a priest, sent down from a posh public school, after a conviction for paedophilia. The three women with him were friends and supporters who were providing him with "safe houses" from the media. In other words, they took his side.'

The fact that Mary was the media must have gone over Clare's head or she simply knew who's side Mary was on anyway.
