I am convinced that there must be a full and open discussion of all aspects
of the Church if we are ever to put this scandal behind us. Quite
simply, we need a different church. The Royal Commission was not
constrained by any Church laws or teachings and so came much closer to
the heart of the problem.
I was a victim of child abuse myself, and one of the effects is that I simply cannot read, watch or talk about abuse continually. So I have not followed every detail of the wrap up sessions of the Royal Commission as well as I might have or some people expected me to. I prefer to leave abuse behind, though the Commission has made this hard to do.
