The dreaded word secular that Catholic bishops publicly rail on while forgetting the past and present active rapists among the membership of the Catholic clergy.
Who better to publicly hate on and to set as a target than the ideal of secularism for Australia and Australians.
What is better to target than the things that are truly needed in these times of the extensive and undeniable knowledge of the global clergy abuse crisis.
Who better than an official open and public about their support and connection with Catholic bishops and of their lifelong association with this organization that has been shown to be morally, ethically and sexually corrupt on a global scale for as far back into history as you are able to delve.
How secular are our elected officials and how secularly are they running the country you might ask when you can almost randomly pick an elected official in Canberra and look into their pathway to power and recognize that they have come along on the Christian ticket and that means protecting the "rights and beliefs" of the Catholic Church before the Human Rights of the children that have been raped.
That has been the power that has enabled decades of protection for Catholic criminals in every police jurisdiction in the country and yet no words are to be heard on that and the continuing cover up here in Australia going back to federation and beyond.
The current prime minister has a strong association with an evangelical religion that was the focus of abhorrent child sexual abuse and cover up allegations and findings due to the work of the recent Royal Commission. The Prime minister himself apologized for the abuse and followed by allowing a $50,000 reduction in compensatory payments in an already systemically dysfunctional and biased redress scheme.
.Christian affiliations abound across all areas of policy, governance, regulation, management and community; the question that raises is are they able to fairly represent the people of their electorate?
Pick from examples like Scott Morrison, Bill Shorten, Kristina Kineally, John McVeigh who speaks openly of his wonderful connection at a bishop level. The level that has been accused and shown to have covered up and engaged in crimes against children at every opportunity to intervene in the true course of human rights and justice.
Can these men and women of these Christian religions be relied on to bring us better that what tens upon tens of thousands of Australian children were placed in danger, abused, identified and abandoned again at the highest levels of governance, democracy, justice and human rights and rarely is a ripple of dissension discernible in the community or in the parliaments in Canberra and across the country.
Can a man like John McVeigh fairly represent a victim survivor of child sexual abuse that was blocked and stymied and involved the local bishop. Could the victim of these crimes be expected to receive the full support of people like John McVeigh and others so strongly connected to religious criminals.
Until justice has been served and the Catholic Church has been shown to have made full restoration to those abused anyone representing them should be looked upon with serious concerns for the safety of every child in their community because to do otherwise may bring the wrath of the bishop or fellow clergyman who can "make or break" his political career.
The FAQyMe Gene & the lifelong search for safe, moral and ethical social justice, the Human Right to a trauma informed and evidence based recovery and social re-engagement unhindered by the fear, anger, blockages or projections from other people's gods
The best advice I can give with regard to recovery from trauma is to explore your attachments and/or other relationship vulnerabilities safely with evidence based trauma informed specialists or you can privately Learn the Science of Healthy Attachment Relationships in a safe, low cost self timed manner.
*I have no financial connection nor do I receive any reward for promoting effective treatment other than knowing that others can and do benefit greatly from them as I have.
I was fortunate enough to have obtained the services of Dr Julian Lim when he was working in my city but unfortunately we lost connection for a while. Reconnecting with an experienced and well qualified trauma informed evidence based professional making him the safest and the most knowledgeable I have engaged with and this has been transformational for me. Dr Lim has my full and confident recommendation. Dr Julian Lim

APRIL 3 2019 - 5:30PM - Clergy sex abuse survivor Paul Levey sues Catholic Church and includes why many survivors do not seek compensation via politicians, police or the criminal justice system. You can read Paul's first public statement about his experience which was first published here in 2016 For those who don't know my story here it is. Paul Levey Paul thumbed the entire document on his mobile one letter at a time.
John Brown was born in Yea Victoria 3717 on 27 December, 1948. John grew up in Yea, he went to the Catholic school on The Parade Yea and then a final year at Yea High school in Station Street. He undertook an apprenticeship as a Hand and Machine Compositor/Linotype Mechanic at the local newspaper The Yea Chronicle who recently declined to publish John's story. John left Yea after realising that the proprietor and local policeman Bill Ellison along with other local Catholics in his hometown and surrounds at that time were well aware of his abuse and of the rape and abuse of other children in Yea and district and were aware of the many events surrounding the murder of Herbert Henry Kemp of Yea ...... read more and more and more and Site Map
Investigation of an unsolved murder in 1962 can no longer be investigated according to police taskforce SANO because a different pedophile Catholic clergyman who raped a child at age 8 is now dead. As a result of the dead rapist being unconnected with the murder Victorian police remain clue less.
Later in life John married in Toowoomba only to begin the most bizarre period in his life as he learned that he wasnow related by marriage to the then bishop of Toowoomba Bill Morris. Morris was the head of the bishops conference at that time and was the "Go to" person in the country for survivors of childhood sexual abuse by Catholic clergy and yet I was never able to get a time or a conversation with the bishop. I did get conversations or connection with a number of Catholic organisations with varying degrees of weirdness some of which I have written about in my blog The FAQyMe Gene & the lifelong search for safe, moral and ethical social justice, the Human Right to a trauma informed and evidence based recovery and social re-engagement unhindered by the fear, anger, blockages or projections from other people's gods .
John is author and publisher of Trauma in Religion and regularly blogs at The FAQyMe Gene on his journey, recovery and the horror and the scale of this global issue.
John's personal story is just another from the hundreds of millions of other stories across the globe eminating from the human rights abuses and ongoing horrors of the systemic rape, abuses of trust, fraud, deception and cover up in the global Catholic and other religions. Like those others his "issues in life" arose and remain simply because his abusers as a child were just like theirs in that their rapists and abusers were Catholic or Catholic or Christian clergy and they too remain ineligible or unable to have their human rights upheld in their lifetime..
