More Bites At The Cherry (Or: There Are The Deserving And Undeserving Poor – William Booth)

The Australian royal commission into institutional response to child sexual abuse gave a second day to the Catholic Church to present more propaganda about how wonderful its “Towards Healing” process ( supposedly to help victims) really is.

It was such a disgusting event that it is not worthy of reporting upon. Indeed, even the mainstream media gave it a miss. So, instead, the story of the Salvation Army, in the lead-up to next Tuesday’s hearing on them will be covered instead. With only one working day left before those hearings, the commission has yet to issue a witness list, or the list of submissions, for that hearing. It is going to be a bit like not knowing the team members of a sporting match until the game commences. This is an alarming new development, even for the commission.

The official person for the Salvation Army’s response to the royal commission is Peter Farthing (see previous postings), who is also the producer of a movie on the founders of the Salvation Army’s, William and Catherine Booth. As Peter notes, he likes telling a story. Look for a scripted “story” from the Salvation Army at the commission hearings.
