THE Royal Commission’s hearings into the Maitland-Newcastle Catholic
diocese have concluded, and its Newcastle Anglican hearings resume in
Sydney on Wednesday, November 16.
After watching 16 of the commission’s 18 sitting days at Newcastle Court House (I had two days off to cover the ICAC Operation Spicer findings) it is clear to me that while the details of every act being examined were different – obviously enough – the underlying pattern was the same, no matter if the perpetrator was a priest or a brother, an Anglican or a Catholic.
