A Catholic priest has compared paedophile priests to women who commit adultery. According to Father Bill Edebohls, a Roman Catholic parish priest at
Malvern East in Melbourne, Australia, the media and lawyers are a
"baying crowd" who fail to understand the need for both justice and
mercy.
He called for paedophile priests to be treated with "justice drenched in mercy". Edebohls, a convert from Anglicanism and former Dean of Ballarat, referred to Australia's Royal Commission into child sex abuse.
