Church Abuse
Letter to the Editor
by Babs Johnson, Christchurch

The interesting article "The price of sin" (March 17) was illustrated by a picture showing a pair of hands holding a rosary.

But the article itself makes hardly any reference to all the sexual abuse - especially child abuse - rife in the Roman Catholic church. Several references are made to sexual abuse by Anglican clergy, especially in Christchurch. But most of this stems from the actions of one former Anglican priest.
