        It's sickening that people point to historical nature of abuse while these victims are still treated horribly by the Church and they constantly dismiss Royal Commission findings and recommendations. Can't say it's in the past until it's all fixed.

        A thing of the past for who? These acts brings forth a life sentence. Not Monday to Friday, 9am to 5 pm. And the effect in the family is felt for generations to come. What absolute ignorance and superior thing to write: although we know what’s behind superiority, it’s inferiority

        “Largely”? So.. Catholic stooge Shanahan admits there is still child abuse by priests. Well done, stooge.

        Garbage. Pure and simple. I will debate A. Shanahan and G. Henderson on this at any time at any forum of their choice. This is dangerous and delusional thinking which does no-one, including Catholics, any service.

        Or maybe there's more than one thing in the world that's worth talking about. Every single article in the media doesn't have to cater to your personal bigotry.

        Good work, now let's do Islam (child brides, FGM) - or do we just turn a blind eye to that?

        No, you're stupid for not understanding the point of my tweet, which is the double standard of allowing Islam to marry off, rape and mutilate young girls.

        Yeah, nah. Sorry but you're clearly incapable of rational discourse and you seem like an asshat. Fortunately you fuckwits are in the minority, but go on, have a whinge. Tool.

        "Incapable of rational discourse" says the person who used the words "stupid" and "delusional" without any valid points against my original tweet.
