Abolish Church Internal Investigations into Abuse by Clergy Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/abolish-church-internal-investigations-into-abuse-by-clergy.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 14 Jun 2026 06:36 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Wendy Morris [Signature #115] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/10296317?utm_medium=rss Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:48:49 UTC 10296317 Ms Margaret Mcguickin [Signature #114] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/9845523?utm_medium=rss Victims have already suffered enough! Do not put them through further abuse, as you the abusers, attempt to vindicate yourselves,and to hold on to your positions.......of POWER! This means more to you, than the victims obtaining any type of Justice!

These pedophiles belong in jail and the Church owes the victims apologies and recompense for physical, mental and spiritual pain. Thinking Catholics will not follow morally corrupt "spiritual leaders".

Respect for survivors rights must be seen as a move towards, no longer condoning this soul destroying abuse on children by people entrusted to care for and guide them.

The Catholic Church has been given free reign in far too many aspects of its operations and this must be put to an immediate end.

In order that a fair and transparent investigation into the many incidents of abuse is ever to really gain a creditable understanding by the public then the church must comply with independent inquiries.
Sure, have all the internal enquiries you want, but give up the guilty to the police. compensate the abused and begin a public demonstration of cleanising.

These protocols and those running them operate from a position of dictatorship and power in deciding what assistance a victim will receive, be it relevant or not to his/her needs. Victims are re-victimised, patronised and held to ransom. These are re-abuse protocols, not towards any kind of healing or resolution.

I was also sexually abused by family members, and other people, but that is another issue.
I have been living in Australia for thirty-one years, and I fully support the Australian survivors. I have done a lot of personal healing work, so I feel better than I used to; however, my life would have been a LOT different had I not been abused.
Thanks and good on you for doing this!

Cyndi.

It is time for them to honor the “good” and the “God” they claim they represent, by acknowledging the damage done to survivors and by helping to get these perpetrators prosecuted and incarcerated.
The Church is bias and should not be running any of these investigations themselves. Elisabeth Nonnenmacher. Author of "R-Evolution Against Pedophiles"(www.r-eap.org)

"So those of us who suspected that the Catholic Church has been systematically covering up child abuse by its priests for decades were wrong ("MacKillop exposed pedophile priest" September 25). It has been going on for centuries."

The perpetrators of this despicable abuse must face appropriate punitive consequences for their actions - not just being moved to a different parish where they have a fresh crop of victims to reap or do I mean an anagram of reap?! Many of these abusers are still in positions where they can practise their depravity and they must be stopped.

Investigations into childhood sexual abuse should not be compromised by the conflict of interests brought on by any church investigating itself. Grand Jury Reports like that done on the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, PA in the U.S. shows what happened there when there was no accountability at all to the laws of society that the rest of us are required to obey.

Australian governments have a duty of care to all children and vulnerable adults.

The Melbourne Archdiocese then lead by Cardinal Pell refused to reconsecrate the church in which much of the abuse occured. Internal investgations will never get to the heart of the matter, nor will the continued protection of priests under the law. One rule for all. Any suspected abuse must be brought before the state.

Perps MUST be held accountable and this includes being de-robed when they have been found guilty of sexually abusing children and/or adults. It must however be replaced with something other than just the police as some victims are not capable of dealing with court situations where they again get abused via lawyers etc.

It takes tremendous courage for those who have been betrayed to break the silence in the hope that the perpetrator will listen and acknowledge responsibility for the wrong that was done to them. How can the representative for the perpetrator conduct an objective investigation?

The results of abuse by clergy not only impact on the individual, their relationships, their families but also on the community and society at large. Enough secrets and silence. Lets face the tragedies that many have been left to manage alone and bring to the table justice.
