The Community was established by Mr Kevin Horgan and Mr Frank Carr in 1979. Recently Mr Horgan has resigned/stood down and his behaviour reported to police. Mr Carr and Mr Dudley have stood down from all leadership positions in the Community.
The core purpose of Catholica Australia is not as a news reporting medium. Our prime role is in seeking to establish a community that reaches out to those who have become disenchanted with institutional Catholicism. From time-to-time though we do come across news stories that might require further investigation and since the demise of OnLine Catholics, which provided a source of independent reporting of matters relevant to the Catholic Church in this country, we have by default stepped up to the mark and reported what needs to be reported. The following story reached our ears some weeks ago and we believe it does raise issues of moment that deserve public attention and scrutiny.
