"CARDINAL George Pell has moved to release abuse victims from any
confidentiality agreements signed with the Catholic Church in exchange
for compensation but is resolute that priests who have heard
pedophiles' confessions should not answer questions at the proposed
royal commission.".

News for you, Pell.

The royal Commission can force the priests to answer questions, or
send them to jail for failure to do so.

These priests who hear confessions of such filth (and other crimes as
well) and do not inform authorities should be charged as an accessory
after the fact, and face appropriate punishment for their disgraceful
cover up.

What makes Pell think that the Catholic Church is above the law?

Maybe he is a kiddie diddler as well?

Where were the same "shocked and horrified" protesters when Bob Ellis,
ALP member and speech writer for Bob "Do Nothing" Carr said this about
Duck's Bum after her father's death?

"She fled an important conference, and a meeting with Vladimir Putin,
because her father had died at 83, and fled home weeping to Adelaide.

Leaving a battlefield because of a dear one's death is not what she
lets our soldiers do. They must stay, and fight to the battle's end.
Yet she thinks she is different somehow. She is allowed her girly
tears and her time off, playing hookey from her national obligations,
her duty".

And what about this scurrilous tweet from Bowen's wife, Rebecca
Mifsud?

# Ah yes, the Sanctity of the Confessional.
Something to be said for that, as who'd confess fully if data could be
handed on?
But, while venal sins may be confidential, mortal sins could be excepted.
Long before ASIO, the Church kept dossiers on its flock, via the
Confessional - or we may assume so. Or, is the priest merely an agent of
the Almighty?
Why does the confessional box have bars between priest and parishioner?
Maybe to stop the cleric leaping on a nice, juicy, young girl (or boy).
Indeed, why was celibacy introduced? (Even if now defeating its
original purpose)
Incidentally, the RC Church is a wealthy institution - and wants to stay
that way.

It can try, and it would amount to persecution of the church. Torture
has been another approach, but there's a certain amount of resolve among
people who dedicated their lives to the principles of catholic church.

Similarly it could be much easier to get evidence from victims assured
their 'eternal souls' weren't on the line.

Nothing Pell did or said would influence any priest to break the 'seal
of confession'. If that holds no value, people will soon stop confessing
and in future you won't get your information anyway.

It's not uncommon among many religions, virtually applies to armed
service as well. FIFO workers and others away from home for extended
periods, if 'home' even contains some sort of partner.

Especially before contraception and daycare, as much to do with ability
to do the job as a badge of dedication. How do you make a 'vow of
poverty' and maintain a family?

He has admitted there was/is abuse, there have been coverups and that
there are victims. Has suggested the catholic church isn't the only
place it happens.

If everybody knew the full deal there would not need to be a commission,
dunno what else you would expect from someone in his position.

In fact I don't see any others, like administrators of certain govt run
orphanages already proved to be homes of pedos, sticking up their hands
to be counted in.

You often find that a lay catholic has been behind the abuse in government
run homes/hostels, eg Dennis McKenna at Katanning. Paedophilia is an
overwhelmingly catholic problem - lay, priests and nuns, the cover ups are
95% catholic. Other organisations tend to abide by the law and report the
matter to the police, no cover up and no howls of protest at the way they
treated victims.

Wouldn't be surprised, since a good 20% of the population is at least
nominal catholic.

It would still be a problem of institutional abuse within an
organisation which isn't catholic.

Why was it covered up or ignored? Why did it take 30 years for
complaints to be heard?

Probably a range of issues as to why it was ignored or covered up.
Grooming of the victims is the main reason - the paedophiles get them
to believe its their fault, the power they have over their young victims
is incredible - I've read/heard of priests taking their victims to another
church and making them "confess" that it was their fault. Once they have
"confessed" its their fault its very difficult to then report the abuse.
Bear
in mind that the child has already been groomed to recruit other children
when they reach puberty and this is held over them when they realise
that this is not normal behaviour.

There is a book called "Rockspiders" written by a Vic police officer which
goes into a lot of details.

I had read that abusers were often abused, but that doesn't fit with
those making complaints and doesn't explain why they so often say
complaints weren't heard in the past.

Whistleblowers were victimised (in govt departments too), no 'working
with children clearance, no talk of inquiries. As has been observed -
society didn't know what to do about it.

Complaints obviously are heard now. Pedo's might operate the same way,
but times have changed.

Heard but not acted upon. The abused were young children, often the
complaints were dismissed as vexatious - the priest would say that they
had disciplined the child and he/she was vengeful. When complaints
became too frequent to ignore the priest was moved on and the abused
told that the matter had been dealt with by the church - by moving the
offender on to offend elsewhere.

When access is gained to personnel files, there will be plenty of examples
of
employees being recommended for jobs by catholic priests which put them
in positions coming into contact with children. Anyone who has a catholic
priest as a referee has to be sus and should be suspended until proven safe

Wasn't politicians who decided to believe children, stop implicitly
trusting authority or place punishment above an offender's otherwise
effective place in society.

I'm sure that the tax office may disagree that they are not paid, well in

instances someone who receives something "in kind" is taxed on that value.
No doubt there was some sweet heart deal done with a catholic treasurer
at some stage to allow priests to avoid paying their fair share of the tax
burden.
