FORMER Ballarat bishop Ronald Mulkearns has finally broken his
silence about clergy sex abuse within the Catholic Church, telling a
court he remembers a priest "misbehaving" in a sexual way.
Bishop Mulkearns was forced to give evidence against former priest Robert Claffey who has pleaded not guilty to a string of sexual assault charges. Appearing in Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday, Bishop Mulkearns, now retired, underwent a compulsory examination revealing evidence about child sexual abuse for the first time in almost two decades.
