Image copyrightGETTY IMAGESClutching a photo of two smiling girls, Anthony Foster last year delivered a powerful statement about what had become his life’s mission.
“These are my girls,” he said before television cameras in Rome.
“A Catholic priest was raping them when this photo was taken so that’s why we’ve been fighting for so long… This was my perfect family. We created that, the Catholic Church destroyed it.”
That fight occupied much of his final two decades. Mr Foster died in hospital at the weekend not long after suffering a fall at his home in Melbourne. He was 64.
Along with his wife, Chrissie, Mr Foster had relentlessly pursued the church for answers since his daughters, Emma and Katie, were abused at their primary school between 1988 and 1993.

My suggestion: Catholic Priests who are accused of sex crimes should be forced to get married (after their prison sentences that is). For severe cases polygamy may be required.
(this should not leave them time nor strength for future abuses)
