No wonder some character was apparently self-serving in creating the Melbourne Response, with the following symptoms:

- Priest A violates children.

- The victims are encouraged by the Church Not to go to Secular Authorities.

- But keep said violations secret.

- Instead a Church committee Secretly provides relatively small amounts of compensation to Victims.

- But Victims must sign Secrecy Agreements promising never to go to Secular Authorities or to the Media (even the "abc" runner).

- Priest A's sins are secretly forgiven (including Confessional Hail Maries).

- Priest A is moved to aa new diocese, where he, more often than not, violates more children.

- Repeat Melbourne Response Secret Process.

" Its no surprise the old bold rightwing males, who populate OLO's comment threads, give this character more than the benefit of the doubt. '

The court was supposed to do that as well, but alas....

maybe the rightwing males believe in justice and truth a fair bit more than lying liberals/marxist who only care about sides.

Catholics are nothing more than slightly more civilised middle east Muslims.

I respect the fact that so many OLO commenters so quickly identify with Australia's poor Prince of the Church. He was and is so misunderstood, by old and certain young (that some OLO commenters forget).

Many good Catholics literally think of Cardinals as "Princes of the Church" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_the_Church

Making the Pope therefore the King of the Roman Church, with his golden throne in Vatican, Rome, Italy.

The Princes and the King are, after all defenders of the Faith, closer to God than us.

And of His Eminence, Australia's Highest Churchman, perhaps on the basis of the legal Pub Test that you concocked there should be additional allegal tests.

Perhaps The Rack Test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture) that recalls the salad days

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition of the Catholic Church when Cardinals, Princes and Kings

were idolized as Above The Law, is what you cherish.

CORRECTION

In third last line of preceding comment, some kids were thinking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture)

for the good Prince.
