- Claimed to have been taken out of context.
- Claimed that Catholics to be akin to the Jewish temple - based 2000 year - old goat. [scapegoat]
- Claimed that paedophilia could be repented under the aegis of the 'confessional'!
- Have made attempted cover - ups into a modus vivendi.
It is irresponsible for the Church to have been responsible for horrific abuse of children, attempted serial cover - ups - and now have the temerity of using their illegal confessors in avoiding the law of our country!
Not even those trying to promulgate Sharia Law tried any of that!
All has been multiple - recorded by the ABC et al.
Special commendations are due to Leigh Sales ex 7 30 on November 12.
I guess the Cardinal - Confessor will soon claim that no religion has suffered as much as they!

Broadcast: 12/11/2012
LEIGH SALES: I also wanted to ask you about a comment that Archbishop Pell made on the weekend where he said regarding abusive priests that back in the days when the abuse was at its worst, they were entitled to think of paedophilia as simply a sin that you could repent of. Is that accurate? Was there a time where priests thought that they were entitled to think of it as just a sin like any other?
BILL MORRIS: Um, I think probably there was, historically. I think as a community of people, I think as a community we didn't really know how to deal with it and I think probably because we didn't know how to deal with it, we swept it under the carpet and didn't, say, do what we should've done and address it at the time.

LEIGH SALES: What do you think of Cardinal Pell's view that the abuse stories are largely historic and that they're not part of a systemic failing in the Church?
BILL MORRIS: Well unfortunately, Leigh, I had to deal a coupla years ago with abuse cases within the Toowoomba Diocese of a teacher with regards to, say, a number of girls, say, within recent history. So, it is still happening, it is still happening and it's also happening, say, across our communities. And there are historical questions too, but sexual abuse is still happening and we need to kinda find out why and how we can address it.

LEIGH SALES: Does the Church even today have a priority in the way that it handles these cases to protect the Church's reputation foremost?
BILL MORRIS: Well it does. Over recent years, I mentioned the program Towards Healing. And we developed that, say, way back in the mid-'90s and over that period of time we've used Towards Healing. Sometimes it's not the perfect program and it's not a perfect process, but when it is used, it does, say, bring healing into victims' lives and it does address, say, these difficult problems. But oftentimes it's not used correctly, and if it's not used correctly, well then the answers and the way victims are dealt with isn't done right.
