Catholic order faces 130 child sex abuse allegations
The Irish wing of the Saint John of God congregation has so far received 131 allegations of child sexual abuse against members of its order over the past five decades.
Saint John of God has had a presence in more than 50 countries including in Australia, where it ran residential institutions for children with disabilities. Australia’s royal commission into child sexual abuse found the congregation had the highest proportion of alleged perpetrators out of the orders with religious brother members.
More than 40 per cent of Saint John of God brothers who ministered in Australia between 1950 and 2010 were accused of child sexual abuse. This compared with 22 per cent of Christian Brothers and 20 per cent of Marist brothers.
A total of €21 million has been paid out by six Catholic orders in compensation to victims of child sexual abuse.
Last week, The Dominican and Franciscan Orders told The Sunday Times that they had paid out €5.6 million in settlements with victims.
Millions of euros in settlement costs have also been paid to victims of abuse by the Spiritans, the Jesuit congregation, the Carmelite order and the Vincentian community.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
