Priest not appointed to girls school Reference is made to the feature entitled ‘Let the children come to me…’ by Mr Raphael Vassallo (MaltaToday, 26 March 2010). Raphael Vassallo writes: My article last Sunday made no reference to any girls’ school whatsoever. This detail appeared only in a separate fact-file, which was lifted straight from earlier articles. It seems the Archbishop’s Delegate for Social Communications has seized on this mistake to divert attention from the main claims of the article: i.e, that the Curia had ignored an international arrest warrant for Fr Godwin Scerri, issued by the Canadian police in connection with child abuse charges, when appointing him as spiritual director of a home for orphaned boys. Furthermore Fr Tabone ignores totally the main point of the article, which is that Pope Benedict XVI (when still Cardinal) had known about, but failed to act upon, a widespread culture of omerta’ with regard to child abuse by the clergy.
