Turns out that when a nation inquires into "institutional child abuse" they find that "well over half" was in and around the Catholic Church.

From Queensland, John Brown's story will be featured in a post here at CofA Blog in a matter of hours, and it is a lot like this one:
“A child migrant in 1946, Mr Hennessey was
sent to St Joseph's Farm and Trade School in Bindoon, WEstern Australia, when
he was 11.
There he was sexually and physically abused by
a Brother Paul Keaney.
When he was 12 he was publicly stripped and
nearly flogged to death by Keaney
'I don't think any other royal commission has had such an impact
on society and it's blown away a lot of cobwebs.'
Mr Hennessey said the commission had put
Australia on notice on a global scale. - See more at: http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2014/07/01/abuse-survivor-wants-commission-extension.html#sthash.HJUjLgAB.dpuf

The child sexual abuse
royal commission should be given a two-year extension to 'open the floodgates'
for victims who are growing more confident in telling their stories, a survivor
says.
John Hennessey, 78,
says he expects the commission, which as part of its interim report said it
needs $104 million to conduct more than 3000 individual sessions, will be
granted the extension. Continued here: http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2014/07/01/abuse-survivor-wants-commission-extension.html
