"Campaigners" against the Catholic Church in Victoria are now just making up figures out of thin air. 600 (620, actually) over 80 years is not, of course, the story that they want to have told to the rest of us. I am surprised that they are prepared to stop at 10,000. Why not a million, or any other figure that might happen to come into their heads? Nor is anyone who is not in a position to go through the small print likely to learn that there have been almost none since 1990, and that the real problem was in the canonised 1960s and 1970s.
Still, will there now be an investigation into every subculture in or around Melbourne which may be or have been marked, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, by what we are actually discussing there, here, in the United States, in Ireland (where the Cloyne Report found that God's Moral Law and the Church's Canon Law had been broken, but the law of the land had not) and everywhere else, namely sex between men and teenage boys? Is each and every one of those stones going to be lifted in order to see what crawls out from under it? If not, why not?
