The John Jay Report was an independent study done by a US Secular Criminal Law College (i.e John Jay) attached to New York City University, who had the right to objectively question the evidence, probe it and verify it.

If one is complaining about separate surveys done for every diocese of the United States, then you either do not understand Catholic governance, or you are accursing every diocese and Catholic lay administrative official of the United States of a giant cover up, which is not only patently ridiculous, but impossible to engineer. What faithful Catholic wouldn't want this cleaned up anyhow?

As for obsuring the issue, and mentioning the patent obvious previously. Like I said, the silence is deafening isn't it?

I favour no political party, but it is clear this Royal Commission is not fundamentally about abuse victims. More is the pity. It is about a certain political party's very survival, and the Catholic Church is the scapegoat via which a divide and conquer is being engineered.

Watch this You Tube video to see what happened in the US Election and draw the obvious conclusion. Watch the lot if you want the whole picture, or at 13.04minutes on to see what was engineered by Obama, and the persecution of the Catholic Church now starting in the US

Rubbish aga.
This Royal Commission may well be partly politically motivated, but any previous political party could have started one years ago, but they didn't.

The problem is not the Catholic Church as a whole, but is about the paedophiles still working amongst them, and the hierarchy that continues to hide them.

Of course the Catholic Church hierarchy are saying it is the nasty Australian Government who is against the whole Church faithful, in order to take the heat off themselves.

Church members should be angry with this...

Jehovah’s Witnesses hit with $28 million sex abuse settlement Oakland,Calif.-Google it.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have many issues with sexual molestation of children.The religion and its members are more concerned about protecting the group image than the victims.

TWO WITNESSES required.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses require ‘two witnesses’ to a crime or it didn’t happen,you are supposed to ‘leave it in
Jehovah’s hands’ wait on the lord.
How many pedophiles allow an eyewitness?
These people engage in a door to door ministry, possibly exposing children to pedophiles.
The Watchtower corporation has paid out millions in settlement money already.

Dear Sheleyah,

.

According to the Australian Government web site:

"Under the Constitution, the reigning British monarch is also the Australian monarch, and therefore Australia's head of state. The Constitution grants the monarch - currently Queen Elizabeth II - certain governing powers that place them above all other levels of the government":

http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-government/australias-federation

The British Monarch is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Governor_of_the_Church_of_England

In the Commonwealth Realms, the head of state is required to take the 1688-enacted Coronation Oath, swearing to defend the Anglican Faith. The Queen, at her coronation, was asked “Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain in the United Kingdom, the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law?” to which she replied “All this I promise and do.”

She was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher, with the crowd shouting "God save the Queen!"

The United Kingdom also maintains positions in its advisory revising chamber for 26 senior clergymen of the established Church of England known as the Lords Spiritual, spiritual peers or Bishops in the House of Lords.

Australia's status is similar to that of the UK, i.e., a non-secular state.
