Father Paul Couch

There is apparent confusion in the reference about dates - did he leave the Abbey in 1992 or 1993? Springnuts (talk) 09:34, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Worth Abbey School

I have removed this heading for two reasons. 1. There is no school called "Worth Abbey School". The school at Worth Abbey is called "Worth School". 2. The heading has no content, and therefore looks a little like a "fishing expedition", a use to which I don't think Wiki should be put. If the originator of the heading has something to say, perhaps s/he could say it? Thanks Lanspergius (talk) 19:22, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There have been no public allegations against Worth Abbey as regards sexual abuse, although the monastery has been mistakenly listed in a Guardian article among those which have received such. The verbal consensus among the wider Catholic clergy is that this was owing to the monastery having had a much better policy of not allowing casual contact between school and monastery, and of being careful with placing "unsound" monks in the former. However, this cannot be included in the Wikipedia article because nothing has been published. Basilwatkinsosb (talk) 06:45, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Downside Abbey

After the recent good cleanup work by several editors, should the Downside Abbey section be reinstated? There is a long section on child abuse in the Downside School article, largely duplicated in Downside Abbey. Wire723 (talk) 12:57, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it should. The evidence being presented to the national enquiry on child abuse is clearly notable, as was the previous material which should never have been removed. Peteinterpol (talk) 13:49, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
