Village outraged by diocese's plan to sell heritage-listed church to pay compensation to child sex abuse victims

From Australia-


Judgement day has come for the sins of the fathers.
Tough decisions are being made by religious hierarchies around the country on how they pay restitution to victims of pedophile priests - and for all those lawyers they've engaged.
The Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse went on for many years and uncovered a disturbingly high number of cases of abuse of vulnerable children by some members of the clergy.
Now it is time to pay - financially.
So we might be seeing a lot more of what's happening in Carcoar, a village in the central west of New South Wales.
Carcoar is a pretty little place. So much so, the entire village has a heritage order on it because of the number of intact 19th-century buildings that line its streets.
