The Catholic Church is set to be criticised in NSW Parliament tomorrow for failing to apologize to men sexually abused as children in the Hunter.
It comes as the Archbishop of Adelaide announces he's stepping down from his duties, but not resigning as an Archbishop, on Friday, after being convicted in Newcastle Court yesterday for concealing the heinous crimes.
Phillip Wilson was found guilty of covering up the sexual abuse of four altar boys carried out by late priest James Fletcher in the Hunter during the 1970s.
Greens MP David Shoebridge will move that the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference expressed no regret in a statement issued earlier today, which made no mention of the victims involved.
He's calling on the Upper House to implement all recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse which was released late last year.
