37 Answers
Does anyone here feel sad that the Catholic church is still in thrall to superstition? Apparently Cardinal Newman is close to beatification following an alleged miracle that he performed. He may even be sainted if he can pull off another one.

We recently had a Royal Commission into institutional child abuse in Australia. Vast numbers of cases of sexual and physic abuse of children were revealed. Some involved Cardinal George Pell who was the top Catholic in Australia who was later convicted.
One of the outcomes of the commission demanded that churches report to police when child abuse is revealed in confessions.
One state has already enacted the legislation. The Catholic Church has stated they will ignore any law.
