Research by Broken Rites has demonstrated how Catholic Church leaders kept quiet about a certain Australian priest, "Father F"
(from the Armidale diocese in northern New South Wales), for THIRTY
years until the matter was finally revealed by the media (not by the
church) in 2012. Church leaders now need to explain why they remained
silent for so long.
According to a church document, Father F admitted to church authorities in 1992 that, during the previous ten years, he had committed sexual offences against altar boys. These boys were 10 and 11 years old at the time of the offences. The church document quoted Father F as admitting that he began doing these things to the boys in his very first parish in the early 1980s.
