Abuse victims demand Baroness Scotland quit

From http://www.thetablet.co.uk/latest-news.php

Child abuse victims' groups are calling for the resignation of Baroness Scotland as leader of the Church's safeguarding authority after she appeared to suggest that Catholics should socialise more with priests to prevent them from abusing. The Shadow Attorney-General, who chairs the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission (NCSC), told journalists that Catholics should have a glass of wine or watch football matches with priests. Speaking at the launch of the commission's report last week, she said that those who abuse are often lonely and "unsupported emotionally". Minister and Clergy Sexual Abuse Survivors (MACSAS) and the National Association of People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC) told The Tablet that Baroness Scotland should stand down.
