The chairman of the Catholic church committee set up to investigate sexual abuse claims pressured victims not to call for a parliamentary inquiry, according to radio current affairs show Argos at the weekend.

The commission report said in 2011 at least 800 Roman Catholic priests and monks were involved in abusing children in their care between 1945 and 1985.

Argos reported at the weekend that in March 2012, Deetman had pressured members of the victims lobby group Klokk not to call for a parliamentary inquiry, arguing that the issue had been ‘researched sufficiently’.

1. Nothing to see here. Move along...

How the laity turns a collective blind eye to this is amazing.

2. If all they did was turn a blind eye, that'd be one thing.

But when you consider there are so many who actively continue to go to bat for this corrupt institution, to smear and attack anyone who points out its behavior, well, it's disgusting. Jesus must want them to defend the powerful, I guess.
