Catholic experts told an Australian government commission that the
church needed to re-examine its culture of clericalism if it wanted to
help put an end to clergy sexual abuse.
Several experts also told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that the church needed the commission’s help to get on the right track. “The mismanagement of the church is the business of the Royal Commission, in my view, because it has led to the situation that this church is in. If this was a business, we’d be shut down a long time ago,” said Dr. Michelle Mulvihill, psychologist and former Sister of Mercy who has worked with religious orders.
