A Melbourne archbishop has admitted that church leaders have helped cover up clerical abuses in a three-hour interrogation by a Victorian parliament inquiry, The Australian said in a report.

"The church was too keen to look after herself and her good name and not keen enough to address the terrible anguish of the victims," Archbishop Denis Hart told the formal inquiry.

Archbishop Hart also revealed that his predecessor, Archbishop Thomas Little, who led the Melbourne archdiocese from 1974 to 1996, had treated complaints with confidentiality, saved no documentation of sex-abuse activities and kept all the records to himself.
