Great article in “The Australian”
The rather ironically named Chris Goddard (director of Child Abuse Prevention Research Australia, Monash University) has penned a must-read article in last week’s Australian.
It begins:
THE truth about child abuse has long been obscured. Many adults and institutions have used a range of weapons to silence children. The full extent of the lying and deception is still being uncovered.
I shan’t include any more excerpts, as I urge you in the strongest of terms to read the whole thing yourself.

The statement does not spell out what Bishop Toohey’s hurtful behaviour was, but the Catholic Church says there are no criminal matters involved. Yeah, we can trust the Catlix to tell us the truth!
