Billions spent on recommendations to stop #child sex abuse. #Bishops go against recommendations. RC into #Child #SexAbuse & church's own TJHC #FrancisSullivan both stated, 'The Catholic Church shouldn't be allowed to investigate itself'. Bishop to investigate #SexAbuse inhouse.

Under #ACNC rules, a registered charity is not allowed to be actively "promoting or opposing a political party or a candidate". This is a flagrant violation by the PBCC on behalf of the #LNP & a shocking breach of trust by a major political party. #auspol smh.com.au/politics/feder…

My documentary; 'Lost Boys: Belfast's Missing Children' will be released in select Omniplex cinemas across Northern Ireland. Delighted that a wider audience will finally get a chance to see the film. Please help spread the word. #LostBoysBelfast #Kincora

We spent 6 months investigating a children’s pastor accused of being a serial rapist His accusers have spent 40 years fighting to stop him. Today he works for disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker and runs a secluded camp for kids in the Ozarks The story: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…

Love to the mothers fighting to protect their children. Love to the children of the mothers that didn’t fight to protect them.💞 #MothersDay

This Pentecostal preacher says his calling is to share God’s love, but a group of women say he sexually assaulted them as children. An @NBCNews investigation uncovered decades of missed warnings and failures to act. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…

Pope Leo’s handling of sex abuse isn’t helped by partial reporting by Catholic press. Turning the screws on victim advocacy organisations is never a good look. Pope Leo has questions to answer. ⁦@SNAPNetwork⁩ ⁦@chapatucombi⁩ ⁦@larryportera cruxnow.com/vatican/2025/0…

'Justice will include acknowledgement that the Church’s male domination signals endorsement of women’s second class status for women all over the world whether they are Catholic or not.' #PopeLeoXIV #Conclave2025 womensordinationcampaign.org/press-releases…

On clerical sexual abuse, Prevost’s credentials were already questionable prior to the conclave. pillarcatholic.com/p/why-prevosts…

Safeguarding is a distraction. Prosecutions are what count. Go for the abusers & the bystanders.

No let-up for @st_colmans & @newrycathedral as another case clerical sex abuse case is settled. But, heigh-ho, you know you’re reading the best rag when they get the paedo-priest’s name wrong… again…..for the 49th time! You can do better, @newryreporter newryreporter.com/news/courts/ma…

Pope Leo XIV's religious order still mired in secrecy over child sex abuse chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/…

Priest Sexual Abuse Survivors Demand Accountability from New Pope: “Open Up Those Archives” democracynow.org/2025/5/9/pope_…

Expect more detail on Prevost’s failures over clerical sex abuse as forensic journalists pick through his assignments & career. Should we be surprised? Hardly. It would’ve been difficult to isolate one cardinal from the conclave who hasn’t been tarnished by the sex abuse scandals

Here is your new Pope
