A royal commission will hear from Geoffrey Robinson, the bishop who
campaigned for years to end child sex abuse and its cover-up in the
Catholic Church. A Catholic bishop who more than a decade ago called for an end to the
worldwide cover-up of child sex abuse by the church will take the stand
at a royal commission hearing in Sydney.
Former Sydney Auxiliary Bishop Geoffrey Robinson, who helped write the church's sex abuse policy in Australia, will give evidence at a public hearing of the abuse royal commission on Monday. The retired bishop will be questioned on the history and development of the Catholic Church's approach to abuse victims, and the 1996 establishment of Towards Healing, the internal church process for handling allegations.
