At least it wasn't a mosque , the water basin attendant would do a FGM and caning on bare feet.

Jayb,

No wonder they call it "The Deep North"!!

Is Mise,
The questions are mine, after the weekend reading about the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse. Prompted by a newspaper article on Saturday.

For one that has knowledge about the various branches of the catholic church, I expect that you may have followed the hearings and reports closely.

In case you did not, here is a link.

It is a good place to start to inform yourself about the whole sordid and sorry mess. But be warned, there are thousands of pages, reports, articles, books, films, and other material to wade through.. And this report only deals with Australia and there are many countries involved. It is mind boggling.

I am just glad that my father-in-law did not live to see the report as he would have been heart broken and died of shame to think those in his church could do such things. I am sure many Catholics will leave the church in disgust.

Foxy,

I am still waiting for you to answer the question with something other than a vague motherhood statement.

More from the Law:
"The report, “Unequal and Unprotected: Women’s Rights Under Lebanon’s Religious Personal Status Laws,” found that, across all religions, laws erect greater barriers for women than men who wish to terminate abusive marriages,.
“I forced myself to bear beyond what a human being can take, all the injustices and violence,” said Mireille, a (Christian) Maronite woman who endured years of physical abuse ..
Christian laws impact women differently and disproportionately. . And although spousal violence is grounds for desertion, short of attempted murder it is insufficient to end a ( Christian) marriage quickly. "

SM,

I am still waiting for an apology from you Sir
for calling me an "anti-Semitic racist" on another
thread.
