Pedo priests in OZ

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

I found this report on Australian Atheist forum:

CONFIDENTIAL police reports have detailed the suicides of at least 40 people sexually abused by Catholic clergy in Victoria, and have urged a new inquiry into these and many other deaths suspected to be linked to abuse in the church.
In a damning assessment of the church’s handling of abuse issues, the reports say it appears the church has known about a shockingly high rate of suicides and premature deaths but has "chosen to remain silent."
Written by Detective Sergeant Kevin Carson, the reports state that while conducting lengthy inquiries into paedophile clergy, investigators have discovered "an inordinate number of suicides which appear to be a consequence of sexual offending.

Those priests should be put up against a wall in front of a firing squad dressed like the Village people and the Power Rangers and shoot for what they done.

It would be too good for them Gooders.

Absolutely sickening! & what's worse is many churches either deny & even attempt to cover it up.

Not only that, but Christians in general either deny or attempt to cover it up. Or, if they actually do accept that sexual abuse occurred, blow it off as "one or two bad apples."

CONFIDENTIAL police reports have detailed the suicides of at least 40 people sexually abused by Catholic clergy in Victoria,

It does, however, give a whole new slant on the term "down under."

The Catholic church has a lot of money stored up in many, many, works of art. I think they ought to sell them to raise the money to compensate the victims. I know it wouldn't make right what they did but they still need to take responsibility for their actions. Call it penance.

Not enough art to pay a fair compensation to tens of thousands of victims.. However, the church still owns about half of Italy.
