Anger over Church abuse cover-up

[Setarime]

Campaigners have called the Church of England's failure to tell police about an ex-choirmaster who sexually abused children "totally irresponsible".
Peter Halliday, 61, from Farnborough, Hants, was jailed for 30 months after admitting sex offences from the 1980s.

BBC News has learned he admitted the abuse 17 years ago, but left the Church quietly on condition he had no further contact with children.

This is an outrage, the Church of England should be ashamed of itself, this dirty old b@*#ard should never have been allowed to get away with that for so long

Agree with all of the above it should not have been hushed and brushed,they prob thought they were doing the right thing to save face but anyway you look at it,its wrong

This is sickening, men of the church molesting children. It is horrible! Everyone knows or should know that it is wrong and from a member of the Church of England to be doing this it just makes it even more wrong because they are a religious figure and should know the morals to the bone. Horrible.

It's ministers, priests, etc like these that make people not believe in going to church i'm telling you.
