DUBLIN, Ireland -- The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Dublin published a report Wednesday that says 102 of its priests are suspected of sexually or physically abusing at least 350 children since 1940, the biggest such admission to date in Ireland.
The archdiocese said it was publishing updated findings ahead of the expected formation later this month of a government-appointed commission to investigate the history and handling of such abuse throughout Ireland, a predominantly Catholic nation that has been rocked by waves of church sex-abuse scandals since 1994.
