Royal Commission into sexual abuse: Senior Catholic leaders called to give evidence

Every Catholic archbishop in the country except for Hobart is being called to give evidence at a royal commission hearing starting next week in Sydney.
Key points:
  •  Most of the Australia’s senior Catholic leaders will front the commission in its final weeks
  • Catholic leaders warn parishioners about grim data on child sexual abuse by clergy that will be produced
  •  First time the Catholic Church has been so open about this information, victim advocates say.
