Inquiry heard Searson carried a gun to school and a fetish for children

Catholic church accused of sending pedophile priests - including man with a 'fetish' for children going into confession - to a Melbourne parish because it was POOR.  The Catholic Church sent a string of pedophile priests, from the 1970s to 1990s, to a poor Melbourne parish because it did not care about disadvantaged parishioners, an inquiry has heard.
One of the pedophile priests sent to Doveton, 34km south of Melbourne, left because he was having sex with a number of women, while his successor told a girl he indecently assaulted in confession 'the Lord forgives you', the child abuse royal commission heard.
