The leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland has said he is deeply sorry and ashamed about the widespread sexual abuse of children by priests.
Cardinal Sean Brady also apologized for the way the Church covered up the abuse, which happened in Dublin.
He spoke after an Irish government report revealed abuse over decades, a systematic cover-up by the Church, and a lack of action by the Irish police.
The Church put its own reputation ahead of the welfare of children, it found.
