World The Vatican said Pope Benedict had accepted the resignation of Bishop John Magee of Cloyne, Ireland. Magee, 73, was accused in a 2009 investigation of mishandling reports of sexual abuse in his diocese. He quit his daily administrative duties a year ago and offered his resignation to the pope this month. "To those whom I have failed in any way, or through any omission of mine have made suffer, I beg forgiveness and pardon," Magee said in a statement after the Vatican announced that the pope had accepted his resignation. Four other Irish bishops who have come under criticism for their handling of sex abuse cases have offered their resignations to the pope. He has accepted only one of them. There have been growing calls in Ireland for the head of the Irish Church, Cardinal Sean Brady, to resign because he was involved in a cover-up of a case of sexual abuse when he was a priest in 1975. But Brady, who has defended Magee in the past, has not yet tendered his resignation to the pope. The bishop from southern Ireland was the most high-profile head to roll in a scandal that has gripped Ireland and has spread to a number of other European countries, including the pope's native Germany. Magee was well known in the Vatican. He served as one of two personal secretaries to Pope Paul VI, who died in 1978, and to his successor, John Paul I, who reigned for only 33 days. He kept that job for the first four years of the papacy of John Paul II and later served as Vatican master of ceremonies. INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT In 1981, Pope John Paul put Magee in the international spotlight when he dispatched him to Northern Ireland in an 11th-hour bid to try to convince IRA members, including Bobby Sands, to end their hunger strike. Sands later died. Magee, bishop of Cloyne since 1987, had been under fire for his handling of reports of sexual abuse in his diocese. He faced calls to resign after a commission set up by the Church said in 2009 that his diocese had exposed children to risk by not responding appropriately to abuse allegations. The report found Magee had failed to apply proper procedures and put vulnerable children in danger. After it was published, a number of Irish bishops openly expressed their lack of confidence in Magee, a native of Newry, Ireland, but it took him more than a year to offer his resignation. The investigation into the Cloyne diocese was separate from an Irish government report on the cover-up of sexual abuse cases in Dublin archdiocese. The Murphy Report, published in November, said the church in Ireland had "obsessively" concealed child abuse in Dublin from 1975 to 2004, and operated a policy of "don't ask, don't tell." In a letter to the Irish people last Saturday, the pope apologized on Saturday to victims of child sex abuse in the overwhelmingly Catholic country and ordered an official inquiry. But critics said the pope failed to address widespread calls in Ireland for a radical restructuring of the church there, nor did he say that bishops implicated in the scandal should resign.
