JOHN Ellis, whose lawsuit against
the Catholic Church prompted a landmark ruling on the church's liability
in sexual abuse claims, has condemned the church's Towards Healing
process for treating victims like "troublemakers" and reviving their
trauma.
In a submission released by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Mr Ellis and his wife Nicola describe their experience as solicitors who have acted for more than 200 victims of clerical sexual abuse.
