Two more Roman Catholic bishops in Ireland say they're resigning in the wake of a damning invesigation into decades of church cover-up of child abuse in the Dublin archdiocese.
Dublin Bishops Eamonn Walsh and Ray Field offered an apology to child-abuse victims as they announced their resignations during Christmas Mass. Priests read the statement to worshippers throughout the archdiocese, home to a quarter of Ireland's 4 million Catholics.
Earlier this month two other bishops quit after being named as negligent following a government-authorized investigation.
The investigation found that Dublin church leaders spent decades shielding more than 170 pedophile priests from the law, and began providing information to police only in 1995.

What a surprise! This has been a regular occurrence for generations. Now you know where the money that you drop into the collection box goes. The Catholic church has spent zillions of dollars over the years covering up the actions of their priests and it is never going to stop. Pedophiles will go where the little boys are.
