Sir, – Eileen Keane (June 28th)asks us to “spare a thought for the thousands of good priests and religious who are trying to continue their ministry despite being tarred daily by the sins of a few?”. When will she and her fellow apologists for the endemic and systematic abuse perpetrated by Roman Catholic priests and religious during the course of their ministry realise that it is not so much the sins of the few, but the silence of the many that I, and many like me, find unforgivable. – Yours, etc,
