Plenty comments already, saying much the same as we would.

The bishop accused the vatican of becoming "increasingly authoritarian". Is that a joke?

Does this bishop get to collect unemployement insurance?

So, for raping kids you get moved to a different parish with fresh meat, but for voicing an opinion, you get sacked?

Yep, that's how it works.

Reading down the report, that same bishop had already been caught turning a blind eye to kiddy fiddling, and in effect got praised for it, though they tried to spin it differently, of course...
Finnigan also issued a statement praising Morris' service, particularly his handling of a sexual abuse case in which students at a Toowoomba Catholic school were assaulted by a teacher. Morris quickly accepted legal liability for the abuse, sparing the victims a court trial.

"The good work that Bishop Morris has done to address the needs of the victims will continue into the future," Finnigan said.
