Cardinal Vincent Nichols Must Resign
In light of the IICSA's damning report on Cardinal Vincent Nichols and his failure in handling clerical sex abuse within the Catholic Church, I am calling on Catholics across England and Wales to mobilise, and lobby for Cardinal Vincent Nichols to resign.
Why is this important?
The sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church has caused severe damage to its reputation. What is worse is the way they have been handled by the authorities in the Church. Sex abuse is something which causes severe trauma for survivors for the rest of their lives, but the cover ups only add to the trauma. As the leader of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, the IICSA report has shown that Cardinal Nichols has failed in his leadership to deal with clerical abuse. Survivors are now calling for him to resign. It is important, as Christians, to first and foremost, seek justice and healing for survivors, and put that above the reputation of the Church.
