Fr Kevin Dillon
GEELONG Catholic priest Fr Kevin Dillon will tell a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into institutional abuse that an existing response system for victims ignores rules of compassion and justice and it is beyond repair.
The St Mary’s parish priest will on Friday become the first cleric to present to the state inquiry, during the second of two sittings in Geelong.
Fr Dillon said yesterday he would call for victims to have a greater voice in how a response system might help them rebuild their lives.
He regularly counsels about 40 people who have suffered abuse from within the Catholic church.
