IT HAS taken most of her life to discover, but Noreen Wood knows now
she is a fighter. Like most victims of sexual abuse, she has many needs
- financial, physical and emotional - but the most urgent, the one that
drives her even when she feels that tackling the Catholic Church is
like tilting at windmills, is for the truth to be heard and
acknowledged.
At least four generations of Noreen's family have been shaped by the Catholic Church. Once, like her great-grandmother - a generous donor to Mary MacKillop - she would have seen this as a blessing. No longer.
