Statement from Rosminians following TV documentary

Fr David Myers, leader of the Rosminian brethren in the UK, has published the following brief statement on the Rosminian website today, following last night's television documentary.

I apologise without reservation on behalf of the Rosminian brethren in the UK to all those who have suffered. Such abuse was a grievous breach of trust to them and to their families. We are appalled by what was done to them.

I and all my brethren are deeply shocked at what has happened and acknowledge our inadequate response. We are committed to the pastoral care and support of those who have suffered abuse and to the procedures laid down by the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission.
