A priest who had the habit of squeezing the genitals of miscreants was moved out of the Catholic Church and NSW in a joint police/church operation. At a royal commission hearing retired bishop Geoffrey Robinson explained how the Catholic Church typically handled offending priests in the 60s and 70s.
He told how Thomas Gilroy, archbishop of Sydney from 1940 to 1971, appointed Monsignor Tom Wallace of Darlinghurst to deal with priests behaving badly.
