The Benedictine

"For decades Ampleforth and Downside tried to avoid giving any information about child sexual abuse to police and social services.
"Instead, monks in both institutions were very often secretive, evasive and suspicious of anyone outside the English Benedictine Congregation.
"Safeguarding children was less important than the reputation of the Church and the wellbeing of the abusive monks."
Professor Alexis Jay, Chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. (News, 9th August, 2018).
