Father Kevin Lee has published a book "Unholy Silence"
He says this is about his time in the church in Australia and all the coverups and abuse that he has seen, I haven't read it as yet,so I have no idea about the content, but it seems timely. He says he has a few unkind words for Cardinal Pell, and is publishing the book offshore. I image there are quite a few people with unkind words for Pell, but I don't think making the book only available via the web and published outside Australia will be much help
I am a bit concerned about his claim he forced the creation of a Royal Commission in to the Abuse of Children, because as far as I can tell it was mainly the work recently of Detective Peter Fox coming forward to allege his investigations have been stymied by senior police and politicians.
In one interview a few days ago he quotes:-
"Even in the dormitory I lived in, it was nicknamed 'The AIDS Wing' because there was a belief that a lot of the people living there were going to get AIDS because they were just so promiscuous," he said.
The book is available at http://unholysilence.com/ and he blogs at http://fatherkevinlee.blogspot.com.au
