Irish abuse survivor accuses Vatican of 'shameful' resistance as she resigns from its child protection panel

Irish abuse survivor Marie Collins on Wednesday accused the Vatican of “shameful” resistance to fighting clerical sex abuse in the Catholic Church as she resigned from a key panel set up by Pope Francis to deal with the issue.
Ms Collins’ shock resignation is a huge setback for the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors which was set up by the pope in 2013 to counter abuse in the church.
