It seems like there are those in Australia who would have had the investigation focus solely on the Catholic Church. Opposition leader Tony Abbot and Cardinal Pell made sure that the invetigation would include all accusations of child abuse and cover up in any institution.

There is certainly an element in Australia who intensely hate the Catholic Church and will try anything to foment hatred towards it.

As an example a TV news story the other day was up in arms about how Catholic School fees where going towards paying for the victims of child abuse. Turns out that the Church self insures throug a Catholic Insurance company which Catholic Schools also insure through - Talk about a beat up. Still I find it is only stupid lefties who willingly fall for this stuff!

We have enemies because we stand up for the weak and the helpless.

It is by no means confined to Australia. I have seen it even on this site.
