A man who was sexually abused by a Marist Brother as a boy has told an inquiry he was made to feel like he was robbing the Church when he applied for compensation.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has entered its second week examining the Towards Healing process established by the Catholic Church.

The man, known only to the Commission as DG, says he was sexually abused in his family home by Brother Raymond Foster in 1970, when he was 13 years old.

DG was attending a Marist Brothers school in North Queensland at the time.
