Church abuse suicides. All 30 were abused by clergy or other religious officials

ALL 30 are dead, probably by suicide. All 30 were abused by clergy or other religious officials in the Maitland-Newcastle Catholic diocese. In some cases the link between those two factors appears clear and direct. In others the picture is complicated by time or circumstances.
The time seems right, now that a royal commission is inquiring into sexual abuse in religious institutions throughout Australia, to put the question of these troubling deaths – and many others like them – on the table for closer examination.
