The multimillion-dollar estate of the former Ballarat bishop Ronald
Mulkearns will be used to help victims of abuse, the Catholic diocese
has said. Mulkearns, who died in April, was blamed for allowing paedophile priests to continue to operate in Victoria.
The late bishop left a reported $2.1m to be used by the current bishop of Ballarat for the benefit of the diocese “at his absolute discretion”, according to the Herald Sun.
