A priest committed child-sex crimes, and was later appointed as the deputy to a bishop

A retired senior Catholic priest from western Sydney, Father Richard Cattell, is scheduled to appear in Sydney's Penrith District Court on 20 February 2015 for sentencing on child-sex charges. The offences were committed against an altar boy in the 1980s. In the early 1990s, Father Richard Cattell was appointed as the Vicar-General of Sydney's Parramatta diocese, helping to administer this diocese for Bishop Bede Heather.
