PRIEST sex offenders used weapons
and bestiality to scare victims into silence, a Victorian parliamentary
inquiry heard yesterday. Speaking at the inquiry's latest hearing into child sexual abuse by
church officials, victim advocates revealed Catholic leaders had
wielded knives, hid pistols in their presbyteries and even toted guns
around schoolyards to deter their victims from speaking out.
The shocking allegations come as Prime Minister Julia Gillard called a royal commission into child sexual abuse, promising to investigate not just those who committed evil acts but also those who turned a blind eye.
