Headmaster of school where teachers abused pupils said he thought kissing students was simply an 'expression of an eccentric old man'

A senior brother in the Catholic Church did not consider a teacher kissing his students to be sinister and thought it simply an 'expression of an eccentric old man' as it is revealed he hugged an accused child paedophile right after he admitted to physically abusing a year five student.

Paul Nangle, who was headmaster for St Patrick's College in Ballarat during the 1970s, presented evidence the Royal Commission into Institutionalised Responses to Child Sexual Abuse on Tuesday.
