The Catholic Church’s insurers scolded
Rockhampton’s Sisters of Mercy for issuing a “prejudicial” unreserved
apology to hundreds of children who suffered alleged sexual abuse and
bashings in their orphanage decades earlier.
The Royal
Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse yesterday
heard evidence of shocking abuse — including rapes by priests, public
floggings, ritual humiliation for bed-wetters, and scant education — at
the nuns’ Neerkol orphanage, which housed about 4000 children between
1885 and 1978.http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/in-depth/royal-commission/church-insurers-scolded-nuns-for-prejudicial-abuse-apology/news-story/98f574353572f384c8d3bda021fa4ed1
