OUR BELIEFS

CONTENTIt is entertainment content that drives true consumer engagement

Content that really entertains is the content that people will want to spend time with and

pass on.

Brands need lots of dynamic and compelling entertainment content so that they can keep

engaging with consumers

Content allows a brand to develop stories but also allows consumers to add to those stories.

ENGAGEMENTEntertainment content is the engagement glue of the web

“In a world with so much consumer choice and with all the challenges they face, marketers

need to make sure their advertising works…

The issue is how advertisers can connect with people.

It is now about engagement.”

Wenda Harris Millard, CRO, Yahoo!

Rome putspressure onCatholicleader to quitRuthGledhill, Jill Sherman

The head of the Roman CatholicChurch in Ireland will be pressed toquit if he refuses to resign over thegrowing child abuse scandal,TheTimeshas learnt.

Nothing less than Cardinal SeanBrady’s resignation will diminish furyat the highest levels in Rome over hisrole in paedophile priest cover-ups.

The Northern Ireland Assemblyprepared last night to order an officialinvestigation into child abuse in theProvince after details emerged of more

attacks on children by members of theclergy.

Dr Brady is spending the days beforeEaster considering his position as Arch-bishop of Armagh. Although there isno canonical procedure to remove him,if he refuses to go voluntarily pressurefrom the Holy See will make hisdeparture inevitable. “Ireland needs afresh start,” a source in Rome said. “Byclinging on, he is putting his owninterests before the Church’s.”

The inquiry would be similar to thatwhich uncovered a shocking litany ofhistoric crimes in the Republic ofIreland last year. An official investi-

gation is expected to cost up to £40 mil-lion and take no longer than five years.

“It’s difficult to see anything otherthan a significant inquiry being held,” asenior government source said. “Therewas an acknowledgement that there’s aneed to act with expediency.”

By announcing an apostolic visita-tion to the Irish Church in a letter lastweek, Pope Benedict XVI effectivelyplaced it in receivership.

Dr Brady’s exit, after the resigna-tions of two other bishops, would set intrain a Catholic reformation in thecountry. Other bishops are also expect-ed to go after the influential Tabletjournal called for the forced retirementof nearly all as the mood in Irelandreaches “zero tolerance”.

Dr Brady apologised last week for hisrole in a church tribunal on allegationsmade by a 14-year-old boy againstBrendan Smyth, a priest whose casebrought down the Irish Government in1994. The victim was sworn to secrecyafter the proceedings.

But the view in Rome is that this hasnot gone far enough and there hasbeen no popular groundswell ofsupport for Dr Brady in Ireland.

The scandal spread closer to homefor the Pope yesterday as, in Italy, agroup of victims appeared on televisionto allege that two dozen priests inVerona had abused children at a schoolfor the deaf for decades.
