Homosexual Abuses: Church Will Only Pay If Everybody Pays
The Australian Catholic Church estimates it will be liable for one billion Dollars in compensation to minors abused by homosexuals, as part of a redress scheme of the Federal Government.
But unless everyone signs on, the Churches could be sued in multiple jurisdictions despite having already paid compensation. Therefore, the Catholic Church will only join the scheme if there will be a nationwide buy-in.
According to abc.net.au the overwhelming majority of victims suffered abuses in state government or non-church institutions.
