'Mind-boggling': Abuse victim reported priest but he was never defrocked
By Loretta Lohberger
Peter Cotton told Tasmania's Catholic Church it had a paedophile priest in its ranks. More than 20 years on, he's worried the church hasn't learnt from the experience.
As the #ChurchOfScotland engages in a massive programme of selling buildings, some #community groups claim they're finding it hard to take over redundant #churches.
(NB the #Church of #Scotland is a charity which is required to make the most of its assets)

Church contains a fabulous collection of 79 bench ends from 1510-1530. This, the first to be seen when entering, says: 'Robert Daye maker of this worke & William Bokyngham Curate John Hodge Clerk'. People assume Robert Daye to be the carver but in class-ridden C16 a lowly carver would not be named above the Curate and Clerk. So Daye is the donor who 'caused to be made' this or all 79 bench ends, though the unnamed carver deserves much credit.

"This tower is the only remnant of a church, the original Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, owing its name and function to the foundation of a chapel in the 12th century. The main body of the church disappeared towards the end of the 18th century."

"If you believe that teaching about God in public schools will improve peoples' morality, you first need to explain why it doesn't work in churches."

Village green flanked by thatched cottages beside St Winifred's church belie the location in an exposed village on Dartmoor, near high hills and granite tors.
