Speaking as a Catholic I would be saddened to see Brady arrested but I would support such a move because I believe that he was an accessory after the fact of a criminal (and unspeakable) series of acts. My sadness would not be for him but for the victims - and I include the church in that.

A greater sadness is Brady's refusal to accept responsibility for his actions and, in so doing, to trivialise the suffering of the young boys who were taught to trust the church and were so cruelly betrayed by it. Brady is knowingly harming the church to which he claims allegiance. It makes me despair.
