AFT thank you for your succinct; very clear summary. It certainly set out the overall picture. I think the Vatican is bracing itself ; for what might be a very clear; decisive; and hard hitting report. My expectation is that the report of the commission will not pull any punches. The European church will be held responsible for transferring it's problems to Australia since the 1950's including Irish religious & clerics that were exported out of the way.  I expect it to be as hard hitting as the reports from the Irish Judicial Reviews and because of cumulative effect of both the Irish & the Australian reports. Having said that; the reality is that few convictions emerged in the Irish courts in subsequent years. The hierarchy protected it's own and still act as if they have nothing to be accountable for. ACCOUNTABILITY is still the big issue and they must face it or fade away in irrelevance. The one exception is the current Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin who is a realist.
