John Paul II: How Did a Homosexual Predator Become a Bishop?
A Vatican investigation into retired Broome Bishop Christopher Saunders, 73, found he had probably homosexually abused four men and may have groomed another 67. The 200-page report, completed in April was handed over to 7News.com.au (September 18).
Prosecutors decided in May 2021 not to charge Saunders, who spent AUD100,000s from church and charity funds on young men. His homosexual activities began up to 50 years ago.
The inquiry heard from more than 100 witnesses. Some described Saunders as "a homosexual predator". John Paul II made him a bishop in 1995, when Saunders was 45.
