‘I thought it would do the work of God immense damage if this were public’.
Makes me wonder if the work of God is political or spiritual according to this guy.

That guy was deceased cleric (David Fletcher) who was aware in the 1980s, along with others, of the extent of the abuse: ‘I thought it would do the work of God immense damage if this were public’.
Use search words: "David Fletcher" in that report too.

I think the full report presents a clear view of the Church and the Police (search this report with the word "police").

Thank you, I will read the whole document. I think I'll have to print it, my eyes aren't what they used to be and it is difficult on the phone. :)
