Father Frank Brennan’s position on the Pell case is a staggering admission that the Catholic Church has learnt nothing – despite the Royal Commission – about child sexual abuse, its aftermath and its effects on victims, families and communities, writes Dr Jennifer Wilson. IN AN ARTICLE in The Australian on 28 February, 'Father Frank Brennan on Cardinal George Pell guilty verdict', Father Frank Brennan –Jesuit priest, professor of law at the Public Policy Institute of the Australian Catholic University and visiting professorial fellow at the University of NSW – indicated 'he did not question the honesty and truthfulness of the victim' in the Pell case and that a 'suspension of final judgement meant "to disrespect" to anyone involved.'
