Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God (Main Forum)

Unlike teachers, clergy are NOT "mandatory reporters" under Victorian law.

Nor is the so-called "Independent Commissioner."

Nor was then-Archbishop Pell.

Nor were any of his predecessors. (Mandatory reporting laws were enacted relatively recently).

Nor is Archbishop Hart.

Nor is his Vicar General.

Nor were any of his predecessors.

My opinion is that all leaders and employees in the church ought be "mandatory reporters" - most especially those responsible for administering the Melbourne Response and Towards Healing.

Currently church staff and employees pass the responsibility for reporting to the police to the victims, and apply pressure to them by ensuring that all support and compensation evaluation ceases while the understandably slow processes of police investigation and if necessary, DPP evaluation, proceed.

BUT Archbishop Hart proclaims "We do not hide any abuse issues" - true, perhaps with some exercise of mental reservation.
