The religious congregation
co-founded by Blessed Mary MacKillop has confirmed a media report that
one reason clergy pressured a bishop to "destroy" her was that members
of the order reported a suspected child-abusing priest.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. program Compass was scheduled to broadcast Oct. 10 that angry clergy pressured Adelaide Bishop Lawrence Shiel to "destroy" the nun after they heard that sisters reported Irish Father Patrick Keating, from the Kapunda parish north of Adelaide, was allegedly abusing children. The nuns reported the abuse to Blessed MacKillop's co-founder, Father Julian Tenison Woods.
