Cardinal and bishop allowed known paedophile priest to move from parish to parish

The victim of a paedophile priest told a court that the then Cardinal of the Sydney archdiocese and a high-ranking bishop allowed the perpetrator to move on to other parishes despite knowing he had sexually abused a young boy.
Reading from his victim impact statement at the Downing Centre court on Friday the one time altar boy, now grown up, struggled to control his emotions as he told how the assault had ruined his life.
