message: I hope that it is not impertinent of me, as a member of the Church of Ireland, to comment on the article, but there does seem to be some bias. Today's Irish Times describes Dr Brady as "a genuinely humble, friendly, good humoured man" and continues that, "his popularity generally and among his colleagues in the Irish Bishops' Conference is rooted in those qualities as well as in his basic decency." The period since Dr Brady was installed as Archbishop "has been extraordinarily difficult for the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, but might have been worse but for the genial personality of its primate."

message: I was surprised that this article had no mention of the allegations against Cardinal Brady relating to knowledge of sexual abuse in the church. It was reported today that he is being sued by one of the victims for failing to report what he knew, and that a victims' support group recommended he resign his position.

text: What an absolutely absurd claim.  He knew that children had been raped, and he knew that the church was trying to cover it up.  He had both a moral and a legal duty to go to the police.  By failing to do so, he is an accessory after the fact to the rapes, and a co-conspirator to the cover-ups.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4F00:113A:5A1:A798:B485:213E (talk) 07:04, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

text: He seems to have spoken out about the abuse problem in the church, see this article, with this quote: 
*“The lives of survivors of child sexual abuse, the faith of members of the church and the credibility of church leadership have all been wounded grievously by the evil deeds of priests and religious [leaders] who exploited their position to wreak havoc on the lives of helpless children,” said Sean Brady, the Irish Catholic primate, who faces calls for his own resignation after it emerged that he had concealed knowledge of a pedophile priest in the 1970s. 
*I think this is appropriate to add to the article. My purpose in suggesting we add this is to give as full an accounting of the twists and turns, not to defend him with his words or condemn him for what may appear to be hypocrisy. As an aside, it would be incredibly helpful if someone could find a reliable source that talks about  (any) church organizations justifying internal processes for investigations of criminal acts that result in the guilty party given a "punishment" which falls short of the legal standard for the crime. if a layperson molests children serially, and its proved in court, they go to prison, not a lower ranking job. Does anyone know if its official policy for the Church to not hold their priesthood to societal standards, or is this a lapsing of official policy? im really serious here, not being sarcastic.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:58, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of abuse allegations? 

message: It is mentioned in the article that there have been calls for the Cardinal to resign from different parties. Unless you are going to list every single one of those calls for his resignation with details of who is making them, then listing one single campaign that someone has started on a social network site is not appropriate. It is blatent advertising, clearly attempting to entice people reading the article to visit the page and join the group. Advertising is forbidden on Wikipedia.greg78uk 18:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Mention of Facebook Campaign

message: The man's name is Seán Brady (or Seán Baptist Brady).  ", Cardinal" is not part of his name.  Nor is ", Archbishop of Armagh" part of his name.  (Nor are other titles such as "Bachelor of Arts" and "Doctor of Canon Law" nor other offices such as "President of the Irish Episcopal Conference" part of his name.)  So these items should not be given as his name, as in this edit.  Besides, uniformity with the Wikipedia entries for other cardinals (which are in line with MOS:HONORIFIC) should be observed.
