Abuser priest should not have been thanked - Bishop

From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 19 September 2018

The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch says his diocese should not have given thanks to God for a child molester. Bishop Paul Martin has released a file on the predator priest Cornelius O'Brien to one of his victims, a Christchurch man in his 50s. The Bishop also says the church will consider making public the names of abusers it believes are guilty even when they haven't gone through the courts. Phil Pennington reports.
