More to bear

This morning's local paper carries a story about a local Roman Catholic priest..he is in Afghanistan, carrying an AK47 (or the like...what would I know) and it's also revealed that he is under investigation for child sexual abuse.
I don't really know the priest. He was in their system a decade or so before I was trained. I don't begin to make head nor tail of this story. That he is 'highly regarded' as one who has cared for aboriginal people and worked with Afghan refugees is without doubt.
But what the chaos of this story represents I don't begin to comprehend...for victims and for the accused!
