The abused are many, and so are the dead, but do Church leaders really get it?

In politics, it is rare that a mechanism for unqualified good is put in place. A body called by the highly provisional title, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse, might have proved to have been a squib if not given appropriate powers and if not well-led. But it was given such powers, and like others, I was delighted to hear the Prime Minister refer to the completed hearings as "an outstanding exercise of love".
