This is supposed to be news or new? As someone who survived incarceration inside a three-year stretch inside a Catholic orphanage. And several foster homes, for half my formative years.

I can confirm all the horror stories you've heard are real and then some. Am not surprised by this revelation, which very likely is just the tip of an iceberg.

Time to deploy space age lie detection to out all these folk, who parade amongst us, pretending for all they're worth to be good people.

Yes, they can pass any polygraph test with flying colours. But can't fool thermal image cameras that reveal colour changes around the head whenever deception is practised! Moreover, they can't deceive CFR technology, that picks up the micro expression changes too swift for the human eye. deployed simultaneously to find these pretenders out in their practised deception.

Otherwise, it's just going to be business as usual and essential change and reformation resisted to the last powerful breath!

For a thorough going truth-telling account of the wall-to-wall double minded hypocrisy of ALL of the vipers that infest the vatican that are involved in this issue, the very powerful right-wing "catholics" and their ultra wealthy financial supporters check out the websites Bilgrimage, and The Open Tabernacle.

I suppose if child abuse was focused on here in Australia at current time the left would show little interest.
