Yesterday afternoon there wasn’t a dry eye in the Newcastle court room at the Special Commission of Inquiry into alleged cover ups of Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church.

It was the last day of the 8 weeks of hearings: 33 closed hearings, 41 witnesses, 100 summonses, 100 private hearings, and the community, directly and indirectly impacted by the devastating allegations of sexual abuse of children in the care of the church.
