Former Catholic priest David Joseph Perrett, 82, facing trial on more than 130 sexual abuse charges has been bailed after being described as a "spent volcano" who may have only six months to live.
Wheelchair-bound with a walking stick across his lap, Perrett faced the NSW Supreme Court via audio-visual link from Long Bay prison hospital last week after being charged with abusing 37 children over more than 20 years.
