Catholic priest compares paedophiles to women who commit adultery

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.
