GDay World 382 – Dr Wayne Chamley on Catholic Sexual Abuse in Australia

Summary: <a href="http://http://noillusionspodcast.com/2009/06/08/sexual-abuse-was-endemic-in-catholic-boys%E2%80%99-institutions/">Last week I wrote a post</a> on the recent report out of Ireland about the true extent of child abuse committed by the Catholic Church from the '30s through to the '70s. A few people on Twitter tried to suggest there was no connection between abuse in Ireland and in Australia, so I invited Dr Wayne Chamley from <a href="http://brokenrites.alphalink.com.au/">Broken Rites</a> onto the show. Broken Rites is an Australian advocacy group that works with victims of religious child abuse. He believes that if we had a Royal Commission into Catholic child abuse in this country we would discover TENS OF THOUSANDS of victims.
