If you are going to hang somebody you need real evidence, not hearsay .No court will accept any alleged evidence.That's not to say these despicable events did not actually occur, although in my time as a member of the RC Church (long since passed) I never saw one episode thereof; so you would not be surprised at my scepticism at the figure at the alleged level of 4,444 victims. These 4,444 either occurred or they didn't, alleged is not good enough.

Many years ago I was the President of a social club where a lady made an allegation against one of its male members. We, males and females, of the committee undertook an investigation, and discovered it was case of unrequited love, to which the woman responded with a viper's tongue and unsubstantiated allegation.Allegations are just that allegations, and no amount of legal mumbo jumbo will change its true meaning. The Commission should stick to pursuing the real perpetrators of child sexual molestation by abhorrent sexually deviant RC priests, and stop trying to justify its ongoing existence by exaggerating the level thereof, by conjuncture, without conclusive evidence.

If you get the chance, watch Spotlight, the movie. It is about the journalists that uncovered the abuse in Boston.
