A long-time religion writer does not have far to look for enough sex scandals to fill a book. Retired Canberra Times journalist Graham Downie was not after scandal in his latest book, Servants and Leaders - Eminent Christians in their Own Words, but
could hardly miss the extraordinary public utterances of people like
Cardinal George Pell and former governor-general and previously Anglican
Archbishop of Brisbane, Peter Hollingworth.
Hollingworth's fall from grace began while commenting on ABC television on an affair between a priest and woman that began when she was about 14 at an Anglican hostel in Forbes. As more scandal emerged, his position as the Governor-General became more untenable.
