The Catholic Church has housed a string of paedophile Christian Brothers on the same inner-city property it rents out as a family-friendly function centre.

A Fairfax Media investigation has revealed the Christian Brothers have been housing child sex offenders next to the Treacy Centre wedding and conference facility in Parkville since it opened three decades ago.

...

The Christian Brothers have historically supported paedophiles in their ranks financially and paid for their legal defences in court. The child abuse royal commission has heard it paid $1.5 million to defend Best over 15 years.

Brother Peter Clinch, leader of the Christian Brothers Oceania Province, told the commission last year its policy was not to remove brothers who had abused children from the order unless their crimes were committed after 2013.

There are just so many levels of wrong in this, I don't know what to say. 'Hey, as long as it's been 3 years since you last raped a child, that's OK.'

3. I can't even muster the will to feign surprise or shock anymore.

The Church and their affiliate organizations have over the years proved themselves so incredibly tone deaf to the sexual abuse of minors that when reading, "The Catholic Church has housed a string of paedophile Christian Brothers on the same inner-city property it rents out as a family-friendly function centre", my first thought was simply: well, of course they did.

5. Yep, that's the saddest part.

It's what the RCC has conditioned everyone to expect from it.
