British victims of clerical child abuse ask for Government action Apr 21st 2012, 11:25 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...y-7661436.html Quote: Survivors of childhood abuse by members of the Anglican and Catholic churches have called on the government to conduct a full independent inquiry which would force religious institutions to disclose any files they have on clergy who have been accused of sexual exploitation.
