        Gerard Henderson - defender of the faith, continues to attack Royal Commission & excuse the Catholic Church despite 5 yrs of evidence & eye witness accounts. What a pathetic individual.

        What a sad article. He claims the Catholics setup schools and orphanages and are therefore great people, then proceeds to downplay the abuse that happened in the same time period as "historical issues". The church is singled out because it counts for 60% of abuse!!

        #BoycottMurdoch #HateMedia Murdoch press have been opposed to a royal enquiry into institutional child sexual abuse from day one. A disgusting & unforgivable position to take. Dont buy his papers or subscribe to his shitty cable products. #auspol

        We can only assume the author is catholic, or employed by them. While they are not alone, they are the institution millions turned to for moral advice and spiritual guidance. As Gods representatives they had a greater responsibility to be above reproach!

        If I had my way they would be made to sell all their property with the proceeds to go to the victims, then deport the whole bloody lot... But I will settle for #TaxtheChurches

        Agreed, and the community might be alarmed at the emphasis on religion as a breeder of sexual abuse when as we know, it is everywhere.

        Sexual abuse is everywhere, because of religion allowing it to continue for centuries unabated and protected. Accept the findings and fix it, or be relegated into the wrong side of history. Religion does not write history and the books anymore, they cannot hide their shame.

        Australians are well aware of the "Catholic obsession" and we don't welcome grubs like Henderson seeking to sanitize its odious and abhorrent activities and diminish the Church's culpability and complicity

        What horseshit. Argument appears to be: per capita Catholics weren’t so bad, it was a long time ago, others did it too, so look over there
