Royal commission into sexual abuse: Catholic Church "sacrificed the welfare of children".

 An expert witness received loud applause as he savaged the Catholic Church for sacrificing the welfare of children at an emotional royal commission hearing today.

Dr Thomas Doyle, a United States canon lawyer and expert in areas of sexual abuse by clergy, has been giving evidence at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Sydney.
He claimed Pope John Paul II knew children were being sexually abused by priests and the Catholic Church attempted to cover up allegations.
Dr Doyle said victims and their families were coerced into keeping quiet about the abuse, even threatened with ex-communication.
"In the theology that I believe in there's no office in the Catholic Church or anywhere else is so important that it justifies sacrificing the welfare of one innocent child. Period," he said.

Approach designed to avoid responsibility, priest says

Dr Doyle said there was no Catholic Church equivalent of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, or requirement that the victim's interests be put first.
"The best interest of the victims should be the overriding concern of applying the law," he said.
"The best interest of the victim is not necessarily finding any way to exonerate the priest."
Dr Doyle told the commission that the approach for dealing with paedophile priests was "nuts" and designed to avoid accountability and responsibility.
He said the method of merely trying to talk an accused paedophile priest "out of doing it again" was not appropriate.
"He's already committed a crime if the evidence shows that … you're not talking about stealing from the collection," Dr Doyle said.
