With news compilation
On Thursday night, appearing at the Royal Commission
via video link from the Vatican in Rome, Cardinal Pell equated the Catholic
Church's responsibility for child abuse to that of a "trucking
company". "If a driver sexually assaulted a passenger they picked up
along the way, I don't think it appropriate for the ownership leadership of
that company be held responsible." This is one of the most ludicrous
statements that can only come from a twisted criminal mind who has many times
covered-up criminal bestial pedophile priests – as a “prince of
the mighty Roman Catholic Church” in Australia and his Vatican reward – was to get promoted as the treasurer of the
Vatican Bank -- appointed by another criminal the biggest in mankind’s history,

http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/cardinal-pell-golden-parachute-to-rome.html
MORON Cardinal Pell’s analogy of the church’s
responsibility to those abused by priests as comparable to the responsibility
of a trucking company to a hitchhiker raped by a trucker is so (IDIOT) wrong
because priests are not fly-by-night
passing by truckers but stable and
permanent as the most powerful “Fathers” who are “priest-forever” according
to the Order of Melchisedech (ancient Old Testament Catholic bastard priest) holding the greatest powers over
the souls and bank account of (idiot Catholics) and claiming to have the
supernatural powers to clone instantly the flesh of Christ in the Eucharist
Satanic Mass . And children are not
hitchhikers but
rather the most vulnerable permanent residents and permanent members of
parishes whom bestial pedophile priests groom and seduce and trick into
becoming their victims for years to
satiate their bestial lust – as members of the JP2 Army – John Paul II
Pedophile Priests Army of Biblical Proportions from the USA to Australia
spanning the entire globe. Only idiot
Catholics would continue to attend the evil Eucharistic Satanic Mass of such
morons as Cardinal Pell. Read our

The West Australian and News.com.au were
the only (brave) few media outlets who reported it with sympathy for
truckers. The West Australian title was Pell's
trucker analogy 'ludicrous'. News.com.au title was Cardinal George Pell insults truck drivers over remarks at the Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The West Australian reported that
“Victims' families say
it's a ludicrous comparison and even the chair of the child abuse royal commission
thinks the situation is
quite different when it comes to a priest getting access to a child.” Other news simply repeated (parroted with
apathetic titles) what Pell said (see news compilation below) -- because
Australia’s media is owned and monopolized by the Murdoch media empire in
association with the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team in the Vatican, read our

The ATA was swift to respond angrily to
Pell. The Chair of the Australian Trucking Association, Noelene Watson, said Cardinal Pell had publicly insulted every truck driver in Australia
and released this official statement entitled ATA BLASTS PELL FOR CHILD
ABUSE COMPARISON
Mrs Watson said, “There are more than 170,000 professional truck drivers in Australia. They have families and children. Cardinal
Pell’s analogy is a deep insult to every one of them”. This statement is very important because priests have no wives and no children
and so all they do all day – after performing the Eucharist Satanic Mass – is
sit in the lap of theological luxury planning on how to satisfy their bestial
sexual needs especially as pedophiles and they have ample access to children --
or as gays with other gay priests. It
is about time that children and especially stupid Catholic women stop calling priests as “Father”
because priests do absolutely nothing
for the daily welfare of children which hardworking biological and adoptive
fathers do with their daily sweat and
toil like the truckers of Australia and elsewhere. Read our related

equation of the church to a trucking company shows that he is indeed a a

Pope Francis, YOU took Francis of Assisi’s name – but that’s all there is, isn’t it? You are “in name only” – nothing else. There’s nothing similar in essence or substance or in person between you and St. Francis - and if the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team are already preparing for your sainthood like they did with documents for John Paul II’s 27 years papacy, you’re being duped big time. You should have retired into a simple cave like poverello St. Francis of Assisi – who even refused to be a priest to clone the flesh of Christ because he knew as he wrote his canticle to the moon and stars - that no one can clone the Creator of those millions of stars in the firmament. Ever saw these images of NASA “Hand of God and Pillars of Creation”? Can you clone one of these with your papal infallible words? You cannot clone an ant or a dog or a star and therefore you cannot clone Christ either.

The Catholic Church is no more legally responsible for priests who abuse children than a trucking company which employs a driver who molests women, Cardinal George Pell maintains.
Victims' families say it's a ludicrous comparison and even the chair of the child abuse royal commission thinks the situation is quite different when it comes to a priest getting access to a child.
Cardinal Pell accepts the church has a moral obligation to victims, but when it comes to its legal responsibility, the actions of its priests are not necessarily its fault.
"If the truck driver picks up some lady and then molests her, I don't think it's appropriate, because it is contrary to the policy, for the ownership, the leadership of that company to be held responsible," Cardinal Pell told the commission via video link from Rome on Thursday.

Vatican: SNAP outraged at Pell 'trucking co' analogy
VATICAN CITY
Gazzetta del Sud
Gazzetta del Sud
Vatican
City, August 22 - Survivors of clerical sex abuse are outraged by testimony
from Cardinal George Pell comparing the Vatican to a trucking company that
could not be blamed if a driver molested a hitchhiker. Pell, now the Vatican's
economic honcho, made the remark while testifying via videolink from Rome to an
Australian probe into historic abuse and alleged cover-ups when he was
Melbourne archbishop in the 1990s. Saying it would not be appropriate for legal
culpability to be "foisted" on church leaders, he drew an analogy
between the Catholic Church and a trucking company, citing a hypothetical
example of a case involving a woman who was molested by a truck driver.
"It would not be appropriate, because it's contrary to the policy, for the
ownership, leadership of that company to be held responsible," Cardinal Pell said.
"Similarly with the church and the head of any other organisation.
"If every precaution has been taken, no warning has been given, it is, I
think, not appropriate for legal culpability to be foisted on the authority
figure. "If in fact the authority figure has been remiss through bad
preparation [or] bad procedures or been warned and done nothing or [done
something] insufficient, then certainly the church official would be
responsible." Nicky Davis from the Survivors Network of Those
Abused by Priests (SNAP) was in the audience of the royal commission during
Cardinal Pell's comments. She said the truck analogy left the
audience "open mouthed in shock". "We were
literally saying to each other, 'Did he really just say that?'," she said.
Sex abuse survivors angered by powerful Vatican cardinal’s
testimony

VATICAN CITY
(RNS) One of the most powerful men in the Vatican, charged with cleaning up
corruption and fostering financial reform, has outraged survivors of sex abuse
by clergy by likening the church to a trucking company that refuses to take
responsibility for a driver who molested women.
Cardinal
George Pell, a member of Pope Francis’ advisory Council of Cardinals, was
appointed the Vatican’s first economic prefect early this year by a pontiff who
openly admires his “tenacity.”
But the
former archbishop of Sydney has been unable to put Australia’s clerical sex
abuse scandal behind him since his move to Rome.
Victim
support groups expressed their anger this week after Pell gave video testimony
from the Vatican to an Australian government inquiry looking into responses to
child sex abuse by the Catholic Church and other institutions.
Using a
hypothetical example, Pell said the church was no more responsible for cases of
child abuse carried out by church figures than a trucking company would be if
it employed a driver who molested women. ...
The
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, which represents 18,000 people
around the world, said it was appalled by Pell’s testimony and accused the
Vatican of failing to protect children.
“He shows
that he really has absolutely no conception of what is appropriate or
inappropriate behavior and what are appropriate or inappropriate things to say
to survivors,” said SNAP’s Nicky Davis, who attended the inquiry in Melbourne,
Australia.
Victims were
also outraged by the Vatican’s refusal to hand over files requested by the
Australian inquiry since the pope has signaled a tougher approach to fighting
clerical sexual abuse and established a Vatican committee that includes Irish
abuse survivor Marie Collins.

advocates in expressing outrage at comments made by Cardinal George Pell while
giving evidence before a royal commission on Thursday night.
While
facing questions from the royal commission into institutional responses to
child sex abuse, Pell said the Catholic Church was no more responsible for
child abuse carried out by church figures than a trucking company would be if
they employed a driver who molested women.
“If the truck driver picks up some lady and then
molests her, I don’t think it’s appropriate, because it is contrary to the
policy, for the ownership, the leadership of that company to be held
responsible,” Cardinal
Pell told the commission via video link from Rome on Thursday.
His
comments left chair of the Australian Trucking Association, Noelene Watson,
fuming.
“There are more than 170,000 professional truck
drivers in Australia,” she said.
“They have families and children. Cardinal Pell’s
analogy is a deep insult to every one of them.”
The comments were a desperate attempt to deflect
attention from the commission’s questioning of the church, she said.
Church commits sin of omission

EDITORIAL
HERALD SUN AUGUST 22, 2014
THE ill-chosen words of Cardinal George Pell in defending the Catholic Church on its legal responsibilities to the many people abused by its priests will only add to their pain.
In an extraordinary statement while giving evidence to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Cardinal Pell compared the church’s position with no more than that of a trucking company whose drivers molested hitchhikers.
The comparison brought an instant rebuke from the commission’s chairman as well as a barrister representing a victim of abuse.
That Cardinal Pell could contemplate such a comparison is baffling. Surely he regards priests — and he is one, as well as holding high office — as the essential core of the church and indivisible from it as an organisation. Barrister Sean Cash’s response was that far from being a trucking company, the Catholic Church was an organisation of the “highest integrity”.
Cardinal Pell found fault with that. The church was not always of the highest integrity, he responded, and had “a long history of sin and criminality within the church”.

Cardinal
George Pell’s appearance at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses
to Child Sexual Abuse will
do little to rehabilitate his image in the eyes of clergy abuse victims.
Via video
link from the Vatican, Pell used the example of a trucking company to
illustrate the legal responsibility of the Catholic Church to victims of clergy
abuse. In his view, the church’s responsibility to those abused by priests is comparable to the responsibility
of a trucking company to a hitchhiker raped by a trucker.
This was
just one of several moments before the royal commission in which Pell’s
rhetoric of concern for victims came into tension with the detached and
bureaucratic manner that has characterised his response to clergy abuse over
the last two decades.
The
Melbourne Response
At the
royal commission, Pell strongly defended the Melbourne Response, the clergy
abuse compensation scheme that he established in 1996 as Archbishop of
Melbourne. He described the scheme as an attempt to lessen the suffering of
victims and to address their needs quickly and compassionately.
However,
Pell’s statement that “money was never my primary concern” sat uncomfortably
alongside his emphasis on protecting the financial resources of the
archdiocese. Compensation offers were considerably lower than the likely
outcome of a successful civil claim.

A top
Vatican official has come under fire for drawing an analogy between the
Catholic Church’s response to child abuse and a trucking company.
Cardinal
Pell, Australia’s leading Catholic cleric and a former archbishop of both
Melbourne and Sydney, said it
would not be appropriate for legal culpability to be ‘foisted’ on church
leaders, although he acknowledged the church had a moral obligation to victims
of paedophile priests.
Speaking
to a Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in
Melbourne, Cardinal Pell cited the hypothetical example of a woman being
molested by a truck driver.
"If
the truck driver picks up some lady and then molests her, I don't think it's
appropriate, because it is contrary to the policy, for the ownership, the
leadership of that company to be held responsible," he said via video link

George Pell, of course, was in a complicated position.
He was in
the eye of a camera in the Rome morning, speaking across an uncertain video
link to a royal commission sitting through the late Melbourne afternoon, trying
to explain his years-long and much criticised efforts to deal with a calamity
within his church: the sexual abuse of hundreds of children at the hands of
priests.
Here was a prince of the Church, good Lord,
required to take a Bible in his hands and swear to tell nothing but the truth.
As counsel assisting the commission, Gail Furness, began the long process of peeling back the years of the so-called Melbourne Response to cases of abuse, the cardinal was a disembodied presence beamed jerkily on video screens around courtroom three of Melbourne's County Court. The Vatican had gone to no fuss. He sat before a drab curtain, as if he were in an old-time photo booth.

Compensation payouts to Melbourne victims of pedophile priests have effectively gone backwards over the past two decades, an inquiry has been told.
The Catholic Church's payments in the Melbourne archdiocese, when introduced in 1996, were capped at $50,000.
Cardinal George Pell told the child abuse royal commission that was about $120,000 in today's dollars.
Senior counsel assisting the commission Gail Furness was quick to point out the cap on compensation had increased but payments today were well short of $120,000.

it was unreasonable for the Royal Commission to request papal documents

In a letter
to the commission in July Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin refused a

"each case" of clerical abuse.
He said
the Commission wanted to understand the extent to which Australian clerics

The Vatican refused to submit criminal documents to the child abuse royal commission. The files in question are those of Australian priests accused of child sex crimes. According to the Vatican, it was "neither possible nor appropriate" for an Aussie churchman to be involved in such alleged activities.
The Vatican cited reasons like church investigations to back its claim that Australian priests could never have been involved in sex crimes. It also argued that the internal working files exclusively belonged to the Holy See. According to Cardinal George Pell, the Vatican may be more interested in providing specific case files rather than handing over every file related to such allegations. He said that the Vatican did provide documents of around 5,000 pages after requests for specific files had been made.
The royal commission earlier sent a letter to the Vatican, asking for necessary documents related to child sex related cases. "It is essential that the royal commission understand the nature and extent of the communications between those congregations and the Holy See in relation to child sexual abuse complaints about Australian clerics," it said.

A District Court jury found Humphreys guilty late today of four counts of unlawful and indecent assault, but acquitted him of carnal knowledge against the order of nature.
At the start of the trial, Humphrey’s defence lawyer Seamus Rafferty said the priest denied all charges and that the rape incident that was alleged to have occurred during a trip to Quinns Rock did not happen.
Humphreys had engaged in inappropriate behaviour on a few occasions in 1986 but at the time his actions were lawful and involved mutual touching, Mr Rafferty said in his opening statement.

This week
the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse turned
its attention to the Melbourne Response - a process established by the city's
Catholic Archdiocese to address the sexual abuse complaints accumulating
against the church. Like much of the evidence presented to the Commission, the
hearings included stories of lives and trust destroyed – shattered not only by
individual perpetrators, but by the obfuscation and bellicose approach of the
responsible institution.
Witnesses
spoke of being discouraged from reporting to police; and of the distress of
having their allegations accepted for the purposes of compensation offers, yet
being told that these same allegations would be strenuously defended should
they seek instead to go to court. Certainly, sexual assault complainants are
often met with a theatre of evasion – from denial to legalistic defences which
trivialise the complaint or disparage the complainant; from responses framed
only in terms of compensation, to settlements which prevent victims from
speaking out.
Startlingly,
however, this week's hearings also revealed that the Catholic Church has spent
around $17 million on administering this process – an equivalent sum to the
total it has paid out to approximately 350 victims whose complaints it has
accepted. These payments have averaged a modest $30,000, with a cap at $50,000
(more recently raised to $75,000), yet the Independent Counsel who determined
the complaints has been paid $7 million since being engaged in 1996.
This
approach is obviously out of kilter with the community's expectations – with as
much invested in shielding the church's reputation as in supporting those who
seek its help. Yet too often this is the case in the wider adversarial process
– the elaborate series of hoops which any claimant must jump through obscuring
the advantages of bringing the claim. This means that, although Archbishop
Denis Hart is now considering a further review of the Melbourne Response's
compensation cap, as well as whether past cases should be re-examined, we need
to ask whether tinkering at the edges of institutional responses is ever
sufficient.

Parents of schoolgirl victims upset by lawyer’s description of abuse as ‘relatively minor’

A SENIOR lawyer representing the Catholic Church has described a notorious priest’s sexual abuse of a young girl as “relatively minor”.
The royal commission investigating institutional responses to child sexual abuse today saw a letter Corrs Chambers Westgarth partner Richard Leder, who has advised the Melbourne archdiocese since it established a scheme to compensate victims of clergy sexual abuse,
wrote to then Vicar-General Denis Hart in 1998 about the case of Emma Foster.
Emma and her sister Katie were abused as schoolgirls in the 1990s by priest Kevin O’Donnell, and nearly 20 per cent of all compensation paid by the Melbourne Response relate to his crimes.
“This is plainly a situation where special efforts are needed to try and solve a horrendous problem,” Mr Leder wrote.
He wrote that while Emma was reluctant to give details of the abuse she suffered, it appeared she had been fondled and not penetrated by O’Donnell.
Cardinal
George Pell to give evidence at child sex abuse inquiry

theguardian.com, Wednesday 20 August 2014
Cardinal George Pell’s role in setting up a Catholic Church compensation scheme for victims of pedophile priests will be scrutinised on Thursday at the child abuse royal commission.
Pell was archbishop of Melbourne in 1996 when the Melbourne archdiocese decided to respond to growing allegations of child sex abuse by its clergy. The church considered creating a legal entity that could be sued by victims, but designed the Melbourne Response compensation scheme instead.
Cardinal Pell told the royal commission earlier this year he believed the church should now create an entity that could be sued.
A Victorian parliamentary inquiry last year recommended the Catholic Church be incorporated so it could be sued.
Melbourne archdiocese lawyer Richard Leder said the church’s position had shifted due to a better understanding of the extent of clergy sexual abuse.

A SENIOR
lawyer who was instrumental in establishing the Melbourne Catholic
archdiocese’s compensation scheme for victims of clergy sex abuse has denied
any economic modelling was undertaken before a $50,000 cap was established.
This was
despite the church’s plan to offer the scheme as an alternative to civil litigation.
Richard
Leder, who acts on behalf of the archdiocese, its archbishops and its
representatives in the Melbourne Response, yesterday told a royal commission
that $50,000 was insufficient to meet the needs of some victims.
But he
defended the church’s intentions in setting up the scheme and denied its
requirement that participants waive their rights to future litigation was intended
to protect the church and its assets.
“I don’t
agree, but I can see people would say that,” Mr Leder said, prompting jeers
from the public gallery during his testimony in Melbourne.

A woman
whose son was sexually abused by a paedophile school bus driver in Adelaide
more than two decades ago says she wants a national organisation set up to
monitor child institutions.
Convicted
paedophile Brian Perkins abused children while he was employed without a
background check as a bus driver for the St Ann's special school in the 1980s
and early 1990s.
Helen
Gitsham's son was abused by Perkins and, in a written submission to a federal
royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, said the
Catholic Church's response was inadequate.
She said a
Catholic Church inquiry that was announced in 2002 was not independent,
transparent or comprehensive, and the process had not been scrutinised by
anyone other than those associated with the church itself.
"From
the very beginning of the inquiry the intention of the Catholic Church was to
seek advice on legal matters and liability, not to determine whether the school
tried to identify children who may have been abused, nor how families and
children were affected and followed up at the time and since," Mrs Gitsham
said.

An
investigation should be launched into a cluster of paedophile priests at the
Holy Family School in Doveton, one of Victoria's poorest communities, according
to one of the MPs who conducted an inquiry last year into the handling of child
abuse by religious and other organisations.
Victorian
Labor MP Frank McGuire made a statement to the Victorian Parliament today,
following revelations in last week's ABC Four Corners program, In the Name of the
Law.
The
program revealed that Cardinal George Pell did not explain in oral evidence to
last year's Victorian inquiry that the church had held a private hearing in
1997 at which the finding was made that local parish priest, Father Peter
Searson, had been guilty of the sexual abuse of two children.
Father
Searson was eventually removed from the Doveton parish and charged by police
for an unrelated physical assault of a young boy attending the Holy Family
School.

CARDINAL
George Pell has been blasted by state Labor MP Frank McGuire over evidence
provided about a paedophile priest during a parliamentary inquiry.
Calling
for a fresh investigation into the Catholic Church’s response to decades-long
sex offences committed in Doveton — uncovered in the 1980s and 1990s — Mr
McGuire accused Cardinal Pell of glossing over crimes of former priest Peter
Searson.
He said
that when Cardinal Pell was questioned about Searson at the recent Victorian
parliamentary inquiry into child sex abuse, Cardinal Pell said “no conviction
was recorded for Searson on sexual misbehaviour”.
Mr
McGuire told parliament while courts did not convict Searson, documents he had
obtained showed that the church’s Melbourne Response, led by independent
commissioner Peter O’Callaghan, had found Fr Searson was “guilty of sexual
abuse of two girls”.
Last
night the church fired back at Mr McGuire.
A
statement released says: “in his evidence to the inquiry, Cardinal Pell drew
attention to Mr O’Callaghan’s investigation into Fr Searson”.

Catholic
Church payouts to victims of pedophile priests don't recognise the harm they
have suffered, a lawyer for the Melbourne archdiocese says.
Many
victims have told the abuse royal commission they've received only "token
amounts" in compensation under the church's Melbourne Response scheme for
handling clergy sex abuse complaints.
Lawyer
Richard Leder, who represents the Melbourne archdiocese, said it was clear now
that the capped payouts set under the Melbourne Response don't recognise the
harm suffered by victims.
"It
is clear that for some victims the ability to receive only up to $75,000 in
lump sum compensation indicates that the compensation component of the
Melbourne Response is not achieving the objective that it was set out to
achieve in terms of delivering a financial recognition of the harm.
"I'm
absolutely supportive of the commitments that the archbishop has made to review
those matters," Mr Leder told the royal commission on Wednesday.
Church
commissioner admits giving archdiocese suggestions for abuse response
AUSTRALIAThe Australian

Melbourne
THE ‘‘independent commissioner’’ heading the Melbourne archdiocese’s response to clergy sex abuse has admitted providing the church’s media adviser with suggested answers about a notorious abuse case.
Peter O’Callaghan QC, who has spearheaded the Melbourne Response since it began in 1996, has been repeatedly challenged on his independent status from the archdiocese while giving evidence at the royal commission investigating institutional responses to child sexual abuse.
Today it was revealed that he had given the archdiocese’s communications director extensive answers in response to questions from a journalist about the church’s handling of the Foster family after two of their daughters were abused by a priest.
Mr O’Callaghan accepted his action had not been “strictly speaking” any of his business, but said he still believed it was reasonable.
The commission has heard Mr O’Callaghan refused to provide one of the daughters, Katie Foster, with his report on the abuse because her family was considering suing the church.
Mr O’Callaghan has said he believed he had acted appropriately by denying the Foster family his written findings, even though he had verbally confirmed to them that their daughter Katie was abused by one of Victoria’s most notorious priests, Kevin O’Donnell.
Mr O’Callaghan yesterday said he had based his 2000 decision on a 1976 judicial ruling, prompting criticism from NSW appellate judge Peter McClellan as chair of the royal commission investigating institutional responses to child sexual abuse.
“The law has moved quite a bit,” Justice McClellan told Mr O’Callaghan, who was called to the Bar in 1961 and took silk in 1974.
Child
sexual abuse royal commission: O'Callaghan advised abuse victims on strength of
cases
AUSTRALIAYahoo! News
By court reporter Peta Carlyon | ABC
The man in charge of the Catholic Church's so-called Melbourne Response to allegations of child abuse has rejected suggestions he failed to encourage victims to go to police.
Peter O'Callaghan QC has been dealing with complainants and deciding whether they are eligible for compensation since the scheme began in 1996.
He was repeatedly questioned about the legal integrity of his decision-making at today's hearing of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
Mr O'Callaghan has been a Queen's Counsel for 40 years and said the Melbourne Response was based in canon law and "natural justice".
He said when there was a dispute with a claim he would take on a role similar to a magistrate in a criminal case.
He was again asked repeatedly why he did not report cases of abuse to Victoria Police and why he took it upon himself to advise victims on the potential strength of their cases.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse will be holding private sessions in Launceston from 26 – 29 August 2014.

Sex victims' parents tell of Pell's 'sociopathic'
response
November 23, 2012
Anthony Foster told on Friday how they
met the cardinal - now Archbishop of Sydney - when he was Melbourne archbishop,
in a furniture storage room at a Melbourne presbytery. They were squeezed onto
a narrow wooden bench, while he sat in a ''grandiose'' padded leather chair.
In our
interactions with the now-Cardinal Archbishop Pell, we experienced a
sociopathic lack of empathy, typifying the attitude and responses of the church
hierarchy.
He expressed no emotion when shown a
picture of the Fosters' daughter Emma harming herself - she later killed
herself - and said expressionlessly: ''Hmmm, she's changed, hasn't she?''
''What sort of of people did he mix
with, what sort of life did he lead, that he thought this comment was
appropriate?'' Mr Foster asked.
From the start, he was confrontational and told them: ''If you
don't like what we are doing, take us to court,'' Mr Foster said.
Coincidentally, the inquiry posted on its website on Friday a
submission by another victim of the priest, Kevin O'Donnell, who raped the
Fosters' daughters. This victim (name withheld) also spoke of Cardinal Pell,
saying that meeting him and other church staff was ''unpleasant and
distressing'' and describing her experience of the church as ''harsh, cold and
uncaring'' from her childhood to her time in a convent to reporting O'Donnell
to the police.
Another victim, Ian Lawther, whose son was a victim, said that
every time Cardinal Pell spoke publicly to defend the Catholic Church, he
caused further pain for victims suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. ''[He
is] only doing a lot of damage to sufferers.''
He said he had received ''zero'' signs of contrition from the
church. ''There needs to be complete accountability. We don't need an
organisation that runs and hides behind canon law. There should be one law for
all the people in this country.''
Friday was the first time victims themselves gave evidence. Mr
Foster, who appeared with his wife, author and advocate Chrissie, and daughters
Katie and Aimee, said the sociopathic response was their experience in meeting
the cardinal, in watching him discuss their family in the media, and in the
fact that neither the cardinal nor his replacement as Archbishop of Melbourne,
Denis Hart, had tried even once to contact them.
Katie Foster is in a wheelchair after being hit by a car when she
was drunk. She turned to binge drinking after the abuse though the church had
received complaints in 1946, 1958 and 1984 that O'Donnell was a child abuser.
The parliamentary committee room was packed, but there was utter
silence as Mr Foster said that if after any of those complaints church
officials had removed O'Donnell from ministry, ''our daughters and scores of
other victims would have been spared their life of torment and the crippling
effects''.
Although the church accepted, in offering compensation, the girls
had been abused, when the case came to court it was ''strenuously defended'',
as the church's lawyer Richard Leder had threatened.
Mr Foster told the inquiry: ''We fervently hope that you have the strength
of character to stand up for the rights of children against the Catholic
Church. Victoria could lead the way,'' a theme echoed by each witness.

The real Mother Mary of Jesus was not silent or stupid like nuns
Stupid Catholic women and nuns should learn from the real Mary the Mother of Jesus brought Him to the synagogues and the Temple of Solomon when he was a boy and all He did was questioning the powers of the Pharisees High Priests – that’s in the fifth Joyful mystery of the Rosary. But as an adult Jesus stopped going to the synagogues because He saw the evil of organized religion and the hypocrisy of those holy High Priests Pharisees who usurped the money of the poor but outwardly prayed like robots which the Opus Dei does with the Angelus and the Rosary and daily Eucharist. His mother followed Him throughout His ministry and likewise stopped going to church.
Then Jesus did the unthinkable, he cursed the Temple of Solomon (prescribed in detail by His Father in the Bible) to the ground – except perhaps for the jewels or wealth that King Solomon accumulated and hoarded in the Temple brought by kings and queens – this would be tantamount to the Vatican Bank and secret Vatican Swiss Banks because the Vatican owns Switzerland, hence the Swiss Guard Army that train all Swiss men to be obedient to the Pope, the monarch of Switzerland.
Jesus’ Mother followed His curse on the Temple of Solomon and all its wealth 2,000 years later. In the Third Secret of Fatima when she appeared to Sr. Lucy and the other two young children, she showed them an image of Hell where there are thousands of pedophile priests burning because of their crimes against children and she predicted that the Vatican will also be destroyed like the Temple of Solomon - that not one pillar at St. Peter’s Square will be left standing -- because Her Son is not part of the Evil Vatican. In the Temple of Solomon Jesus got angry and drove the merchants and overthrew their tables of money – they would be equivalent to the secret Vatican Swiss Banks today. That is why, all the popes never revealed the real Third Secret of Fatima or there’d be a countdown at St. Peter’s Square.
Stupid Catholic women and nuns should learn from the real Mary and not the plastic idle statues like the IDLE giant statue of St. Joseph at the Oratory who watched for 50 years over the College Notre Dame (named again after Mary) where hundreds of students were sodomized by pedophile priests, read here =http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/11/oratory-of-saintjoseph-pedophile.html
Mary inspires us to tell the world that she finds the sound of callous heartless Rosary like the sound of a broken record, read why the Rosary could not defeat the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army here http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/.
But how do you enlighten 1.2 billion Catholics that Jesus Christ wants to be set free from the Vatican -- and that Christ is like the air they and mankind breathe-in – Christ cannot be cloned by priests – in no matter shape or form in the white host and wine – and Christ cannot be imprisoned in gold tabernacles like the air -- and that they do not need to go to evil Vatican Catholic Churches to worship Him because as He said, “The Kingdom of God is within you”? Christ keeps telling us that ALL of the 1.2 billion Catholics support directly the Vatican Mammon Beast and the secret Vatican Swiss Banks that hoard the wealth of the 1% wealthiest people in the globe, hence Pope Francis is responsible for all wars and violence in the world.
Typical of its strategy as in the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, the Vatican Catholic Church has already distanced itself as the Archbishop said “the church has no records and we must not judge the past” (see compilation of news below with our emphases). He washed his hands and says that the church has no records of them – just like cardinals and bishops keep denying about pedophile priests – or they’d spend millions of dollars on lawyers’ fees to keep their records from the public like Cardinal Mahony did in Los Angeles.
