On Four Corners on Australia's ABC tonight (Saturday) at 08:00 pm, I was surprised when Archbishop Mark Coleridge spoke frankly with Kerry O'Brien and did what it seems the Watchtower never will be able to.
He identified:
- Clericalism
- Careerism
- Abuse of power
- A culture of secrecy
- A culture that is determined to avoid scandal
as being some of the roots of ongoing child sex abuse in religion (and the cover ups). At least that is what I took from what was said. A transcript is also available at this link:
