It started with a grown man weeping in the witness box. =On
the first day of its public hearings in Newcastle, NSW, earlier this
month, Paul Gray broke down while describing to the child abuse royal
commission his suffering at the hands of his godfather, Anglican priest
Peter Rushton.
Asked if he wanted to stop giving evidence, Gray
replied: “No, I need to read it. It’s important to me.” What followed
was a very public reckoning for a region that arguably had suffered more
than any other from child abuse committed by priests.http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/newcastles-ring-of-evil-abuse-in-catholic-anglican-churches/news-story/ce3c902837fe6f4775454b16ea144c39
