A CATHOLIC priest barred from working publicly over allegations of child abuse continued to say mass and celebrate weddings in Australia and overseas while the Vatican spent years ­debating what action to take against him, the royal commission has heard.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is investigating the church’s handling of John Gerard Nestor, who was defrocked in 2008, nearly 20 years after the church became aware of complaints against him.
