Catholic Church loses child sex abuse liability appeal
[Quote]:
A ruling that the Catholic Church can be held liable for the wrongdoings of its priests has been upheld.
Last year Mr Justice MacDuff decided in favour of a woman, now 47, who claimed she was raped and assaulted as a child by a priest of the Portsmouth Diocese.
The Court of Appeal has upheld this decision, which raises “an issue of wide general importance in respect of claims against the Catholic Church”.
