There have been over 130 allegations of child abuse since the 1930s within the Archdiocese of Birmingham.

The independent inquiry in child sexual abuse has been investigating the response to allegations surrounding four priests and announced on Thursday that the Church, more than once, did not inform police of allegations, moved priests to new parishes and failed to take appropriate action.

It said 78 of the perpetrators are now dead but made conclusions about the handling of their cases by others.

The inquiry has found that Cardinal Vincent Nichols, who is now the Archbishop of Westminster but was the Archbishop of Birmingham between 2000-2009, focused too much on the reputation of the Church rather than the welfare of children.

Once example explained that Cardinal Nichols was “misplaced and missed the point” when he criticised the BBC in 2003 for tracking down and approaching James Robinson, one of the abusive priests, around the silver jubilee of the Pope. At the time, he criticised them and accused them of anti-Catholic bias.

James Robinson was moved to a different parish when allegations were made against him and was then helped to flee to the US to avoid persecution for years, where journalists tracked him down.

The report said “Whilst Archbishop Nichol’s response to the broadcasting of ‘Kenyon confronts’ did acknowledge the damage done to those who had been…

Benjamin Field, 28, explained the “100 clients” file was not just a list of future targets but of people who could help him.

Field is on trial alongside Martyn Smith, 32, accused of murdering author and former teacher Peter Farquhar, 69, and conspiring to murder retired headmistress Ann Moore-Martin, 83.

The English literature graduate admits deceiving Mr Farquhar and Miss Moore-Martin into believing he was in a relationship with them both.

Field also admits “gaslighting” the pair, who were neighbours in the village of Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire, in order to benefit financially from their wills.

Mr Farquhar died in October 2015, while Miss Moore-Martin passed away in May 2017.

Giving evidence for a seventh day at Oxford Crown Court, Field took the jury through his “100 clients” list.

He named his own parents, Ian and Beverley, paternal grandparents and two co-accused, Smith and younger brother Tom Field, 24.

Field also named a former long-term girlfriend, members of her family, ex-partners, one-night stands, and other friends and acquaintances, such as a recently widowed woman who owned her own home.

“People who maybe useful to me, either as targets of fraud or in other ways,” Field said.

He explained that his brother Tom’s inclusion on the list was as a “prop” for his fraud of Miss Moore-Martin.

“He was used and manipulated by me,” Field said.

“Father You have raised President Trump up for such a time as this.”

She continued her prayer and said: “Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus.” 

To chants of “USA,” Trump took to the stage and recalled his unlikely rise to power. 

“We stared down the unholy alliance of lobbyists and donors and special interests who made a living bleeding our country dry,” Trump said.

“The swamp is fighting back so viciously and violently. For the last two and a half years, we have been under siege.”

He also hinted at a new campaign slogan -“keep America great.”

“We are going to keep making America great again and then we will indeed keep America great,” Trump told the large crowd:

“We are going to keep it better than ever before and that is why I stand before you tonight to officially launch my campaign for a second term as president of the United States.”

He went on to paint a picture of what he thought life would look like if he loses in 2020, accusing his critics of “un-American conduct” and saidd that Democrats “want to destroy you and they want to destroy our…
