The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry finds a number of monks at Fort Augustus Abbey were serial sexual predators.

A Catholic boarding school in the Highlands was a "haven for paedophiles", a report from the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has said.
It said that sexual abuse by monks at Fort Augustus Abbey, which closed in 1993, was a "desecration of their vows".
The report came after the inquiry heard evidence of physical, emotional and sexual abuse over many years.
The public schools in the UK are rife with this sort of behaviour. You would call them private schools. What makes this story so horrific is that when the church found out they just covered it up. How can the church offer any sort of moral guidance when behaving like this ? Surely it is time for reform ?
