	Australia's New Saint Also Dealt with Sex Abuse Scandal NPR October 17, 2010 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130625622 This Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI canonized Australia's first saint, Mother Mary MacKillop. In 1871, MacKillop was briefly excommunicated for insubordination after her order of nuns reported a case of child sex abuse by a priest. Liane Hansen speaks with James Martin, who, in a recent op-ed in the Catholic weekly, America, called MacKillop "a saint for our time."
