Dublin, Ireland - In what has become a dramatic night in the midnight mass in Dublin on Christmas Eve, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has announced that two other bishops, Ray Field and Eamon Walsh, resigned from their role in the spread of the scandal of pedophilia in the Catholic Church in Ireland.
The surprising announcement of Martin was launched from the pulpit of the cathedral city. During the ceremony, one protester shouted that the archbishop would have to "pray to God for his sins." Martin has asked the community to pray for Field and Walsh added, "pray for me."
Outside the cathedral, a protester burned a few copies of the Murphy Report - where he spoke in detail of the activities of pedophile priests and their coverage by officials of the archdiocese - said that the report was a cover, and screaming to the faithful that he and his brother had been abused by priests.
Both Walsh Field, which were named in the Murphy Report. Their resignation means that four bishops were now removed from their activities in the Archdiocese of Dublin between 1980 and 1990, when the abuses occurred.
Bishops of Limerick and Donald Murray James Moriarty of Kildare has already been made by.
A fifth, Martin Drennan of Galway, insists that he will resign.
