The royal commission has heard that a “paralysis” plagued the
Catholic Church’s response to abuse allegation for decades and that made
innocent children vulnerable to the dangers from paedophile priests.
Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart appeared before the child abuse royal
commission and blamed top church officials including Archbishop Frank
Little for the situation. However, he did not criticize his predecessor
Cardinal George Pell.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Archbishop Hart described processes followed by Melbourne Archdiocese as a “complete failure” when it came to dealing with paedophile issues. He also described the allegations referred to Doveton parish Catholic education officials as “just a horror story.”
