[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 70840841, member: 342064"] Well said. Yes, Australia has set good standards for how to conduct the royal commission and this should be applied in other countries. Our own Cardinal Pell who was appointed to the Vatican recently has been implicated for having knowledge of abuses and not dealing with them. The confessional in the Catholic church is an issue that needs to be sorted. I think some have used the secrecy of the confession as a justification for not informing on perpetrators of abuses. This was then extended to not inform on child abusers altogether no matter what the situation. But now with the laws for a duty of care and compulsory reporting of child abuse, it makes it illegal to not take action where a person has knowledge of abuse to children. [/QUOTE]
