According to police, a senior Catholic priest from western Sydney, Father Richard Cattell,
committed sexual crimes against boys in the 1970s and 1980s. Later, in
the early 1990s, the Catholic Church promoted this priest to become the
Vicar-General of his diocese, supervising 48 parishes in western Sydney
on behalf of the bishop. In 1994, Cattell was jailed regarding one of
his victims (from the 1970s).
In February 2015 (aged 74) he was jailed again regarding another of his victims (from the 1980s). The February 2015 victim (Broken Rites will call him "Zachary") submitted a written impact statement to the judge, outlining how the church provided Cattell with easy access to vulnerable children, causing long-term damage to the victim's later life. The impact statement is included in this Broken Rites article.
