The Catholic church has a poor record for dealing with with its own clergy points out one listener to Background Briefing
I am sad to state that in my 70+ years too many key authority figures in the Church have shown a poor record of helping and taking care of serving priests and religious nuns and brothers. This is only matched by how badly it has managed its "duty of care" to its long-suffering lay people in too many cases.
