These are letters OF correspondence with our Archbishop in Melbourne.
Pam's beautiful Catholic faith has been crushed out of her now. None of
her family have anything to do with the church. Pam lost her job
because she had observed a pedo priest in action and followed her
instincts when she saw it happening again.
The way the hierarchs have treated my parish is nothing short of gutless
bullying. Read these letters please and I hope you will understand why I
get so upset at such a dysfunctional pack of yes men that have trodden
all over my parish.
This is a note that came attached to the letters:
Reading this letter now I am sick about how Catholic and naive I really was.
It did not really occur to me that they might send another paedophile. I
was worried it would be another 'cover up' type who would continue to
pretend nothing happened. My concern was for past victims and the parish
as a whole.
I think I actually believed it couldn't happen any more — that they
would have done some work behind the scenes to ensure that children were
safe from the priests they had. How could I have been so stupid!
What has gone on in this town is an and and in itself is worthy of an
enquiry. Not to mention all the other parishes and towns throughout
Australia.
Brian, Great post mate, And while nobody can deny the size of the mick Infrastructure or the employment oppurtunities created , it has to be balanced with the social damage that has been done to our society. The pain and anquish caused to whole families the medical and hospital costs to for victims of C.S.A.plus the billions of dollars of taxpayers money to prop up a Highly Dysfunctional system that is funded as a religion but is closer to a cult.The jobs will still be there that wont change just the management which does not appear to impress any body except the yes men and the pocket pissers. Society as a whole has to decide do we want our kids and the vulnerable at risk. Or should they be entitled to the care of a Christian Society. The money it costs us to Protect the kids and the vulnereable is of no consequence because the cost to society is far greater if we don’t. Here is a link to a class action less than 10 years ago 20 k down the road from my place a friend of mine had three of her kids abused in this St God of John Hospice for the socially and mentally marginalized .

Clergy Child Molesters
Slater and Gordon won a multimillion dollar class action about 10 year ago on this. The resident psychologist at the hospice recommended that because paedophilia a homosexuality was so rife in the institution it should be shut down. If we are still a Christian nation /if parliament still opens with the lords prayer we owe it to our kids to look very closely as at this mick organisation that allows every social evil/crime it claims to be against . the situation in Australia is as bad as Ireland lets stand with the Irish and say Our kids and our vulnerable are going to be protected by our civil law not canon law.We need an enquiry for our kids safety for our countries future.
Cheers Ian Lawther.
