A story in the Herald Sun today, about how the church covered up the abuse by it's priests for many years, moving this priest from parish to parish. It breaks my heart to think about these poor children (now adults) who had to endure this abuse for so many years and the people that should be protecting them protected the guilty.....I hope that Priest never sees the light of day again. How could the church not think that this was a reportable offence? It's a crime committed! Some of the parents also did not want to know about it. I had recently read a book about a mother who sent her three girls to a catholic school, two of them abused by the same priest, the older one taking her own life (after multiple unsuccesful attempts) and the younger turned to alchol and was hit by a car. The church offered them $50,000-00! No compassion, just take this and be quiet. More people need to be held accountable for this.
