The Archbishop of Westminster used his Easter sermon today to say the Catholic Church was acknowledging its guilt over the child abuse scandal.Vincent Nichols, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, said “serious sins” had been committed within the Catholic community.
During his homily at Westminster Cathedral, Archbishop Nichols said: “Talk of sin is not always popular - unless we are talking about other people’s sins.
“In recent weeks the serious sins committed within the Catholic community have been much talked about.
“For our part, we have been reflecting on them deeply, acknowledging our guilt and our need for forgiveness.
“This is the journey of Holy Week.
“Indeed, to appreciate the message of this great Christian feast we have to begin with our own sin and shame.”
