It
will take generations to restore the trust destroyed by priests who
sexually abused children, the former second-in-charge of the Melbourne
Catholic archdiocese predicts. Former vicar-general Bishop Peter
Connors says church leaders completely failed to deal with paedophile
priests as they tried to protect the church.
'There has been a terrible abuse of the trust that people gave implicitly to priests,' Bishop Connors told the child abuse royal commission. 'That trust was sacred but it was destroyed by priests, the way they acted. 'It will take generations for that trust to be restored.'
