Child's grisly murder shocks Jewish Brooklyn neighborhoodBy Dan Gilgoff and Eric Marrapodi, CNN Brooklyn, New York (CNN) – An 8-year-old's grisly murder would shock any community, but there's an added layer of astonishment in this neighborhood because the alleged killer appears to hail from the same close-knit religious community as the victim. On Thursday, New York police charged a 35-year-old man with the killing of Leiby Kletzky, an Orthodox Jewish boy, after officers found human remains in the man's refrigerator and a trash bin. The alleged killer also appears to be an Orthodox Jew who lived relatively nearby to Kletzky, according to community members.

Irish report damns Catholic Church abuse responseBy Richard Allen Greene, CNN The Catholic Church in Ireland did not take serious steps to stamp out child abuse by priests even after the scandal blew up worldwide and the Irish bishops put rules in place to stop it, a new report says. The report demolishes claims by the Catholic Church there that policies it put in place in 1996 have enabled it to get a handle on the problem. The Church's explanation that it was on a "learning curve" in handling allegations of abuse "could not have had any basis or relevance in Cloyne," said the report, which focuses on the diocese of Cloyne around Cork in southern Ireland. Ireland's top churchman, Cardinal Sean Brady, called the report "another dark day in the history of the response of Church leaders to the cry of children abused by Church personnel." |
