My submission to the Royal Commission's final hearing on the Catholic Church.
Royal Commission
Submission June 2016
To whom it may concern
I write this response as a man who is Catholic by choice, a father of eight children, and a lecturer in Theology at a Catholic University.
With all Catholics, I have been shocked, appalled, dismayed and angered by the accounts of sexual abuse and misconduct by clergy and other representatives of my Church. Any normal human being would be appalled, but Catholics have even more reason to be upset because we know these incidents contradict the teachings of the Church which we try so hard to live.
