In Australia government funded and supported institutions, and their clergy bound by doctrine and oaths of allegiance to a foreign Vatican sovereign daily act with impunity to pervert justice, minimise and cloak rape in eternal secrecy, prioritizing papal loyalty over truth, victims and national law.

Download as PDF (Use Browser Print Function)The New Zealand Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care investigated widespread abuse and neglect in state and faith-based institutions from 1950 to 1999. Its final report, Whanaketia – Through pain and trauma, from darkness to light, exposes systemic failures and calls for accountability and reform. This report reviews these findings, analyzing them against harms to children as described in resources like traumainreligion.com, which focuses on religious indoctrination's psychological impacts, and broader global child rights frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The analysis draws on international laws, protective systems, and comparative standards from countries like Australia, the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe to build a comprehensive view. The goal is to create a valuable resource for advocating child safety worldwide.
The inquiry documented pervasive abuse affecting children, young people, and adults in care, described as a "national disgrace." Nearly 3,000 survivors shared experiences through various mediums, revealing physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological harms in state and faith-based settings.
Children in care faced widespread mistreatment, leading to long-lasting trauma. Impacts included profound effects on physical and mental well-being, with survivors emphasizing disrupted lives and ongoing suffering.
Institutions failed to protect vulnerable individuals, with accountability lacking. The inquiry highlighted seven case studies on specific institutions and eight community reports on groups like disabled children and women/girls.
The report, alongside He Purapura Ora, he Māra Tipu, proposes changes for redress, prevention, and safeguarding. Key focuses include accountability, survivor-centered approaches, and systemic reforms.
The traumainreligion.com site argues that religious indoctrination, particularly in Catholicism, inflicts trauma by exposing children to fear-based concepts like God and the Devil, violating rights under UNCRC Articles 12 (respect for child's views) and 14 (freedom of thought).
Indoctrination disrupts natural development, fostering fear, anger, and emotional dysfunction. It impairs autonomy, leading to lifelong psychological bondage and underdevelopment of critical thinking.
Faith-based abuse in NZ echoes these harms, with institutional cover-ups and doctrines enforcing submission. This aligns with global patterns of religious institutional abuse, violating child rights to protection from exploitation.
Governments must prevent such abuses under human rights conventions, including the Convention Against Torture. The site calls for revoking church operations misaligned with child rights.
The UNCRC, adopted in 1989, is the most widely ratified human rights treaty, outlining 54 articles on children's civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. It defines a child as under 18 and emphasizes non-discrimination, best interests, survival, and development.
| Article | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Definition of the child (under 18). |
| 2 | Non-discrimination. |
| 3 | Best interests of the child. |
| 6 | Right to life, survival, and development. |
| 19 | Protection from violence, abuse, and neglect. |
| 34 | Protection from sexual exploitation. |
Relevance to NZ: The inquiry's findings violate Articles 3, 6, and 19, highlighting failures in protection and best interests.
The UNCRC forms the core, with states obligated to protect children from exploitation and violence. Regional frameworks include the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC), emphasizing African-specific issues.
In the US, federal requirements include health/safety standards and state-specific protection laws. Europe uses GDPR for data protection and directives like Toy Safety.
Approaches vary: "Child protection" orientation (Australia, UK, USA, Canada) focuses on investigation; "family service" (Europe like Sweden) emphasizes support.
| Country/Region | Key Standards/Systems |
|---|---|
| Australia | National Principles (10 standards) for child-safe organizations; state variations like NSW's 10 standards. |
| UK | Mandatory reporting, safeguarding in education/health; data comparable to Australia/USA. |
| USA | Federal health/safety requirements; state laws on abuse/neglect. |
| Canada | Provincial systems; child protection orientation with family support elements. |
| Europe | GDPR for privacy; family service in countries like Sweden; EU-wide directives. |
Lessons for NZ: Adopt hybrid models blending investigation with preventive family support.
The NZ inquiry reveals violations akin to global patterns, exacerbated by religious trauma. Aligning with UNCRC and global systems could enhance protections.
This report underscores the need for robust, rights-based child protection worldwide. By learning from NZ's inquiry and global standards, we can foster safer environments for children.

2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity. Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by Catholics globally.
The church protected the perpetrators, not the victims
"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning." Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more
