Archbishop of Dublin challenges the Church

An Irishman named Diarmuid Martin says the Catholic Church in Ireland has reached a breaking point, a crisis that he says results from the sexual abuse of children by priests and the cover-up by the Church.

Martin has provided tens of thousands of pages of evidence against specific priests, and his words and actions carry extraordinary weight.

That's because Diarmuid Martin is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.
