The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne's process of assisting people
sexually abused by its priests or members discouraged victims from
contacting police, according to a study by the federal government's
Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The commission noted several problems with the Melbourne Response – a program set up by Cardinal George Pell in late 1996 when he was Archbishop of Melbourne – in a report released on Monday.
