ABC: Paedophile priest Anthony William Peter Caruana has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing boys as young as 12 at a NSW school. (Chevalier College) Caruana was convicted of 26 offences against 12 students.


(He) committed his crimes when he was the school's dormitory master, rugby coach and bandmaster.  .. One of the victims was subjected to abuse of escalating severity after band practice (whereby) Caruana orally and anally raped the student and forced him to engage in sex acts while telling him: "You know God will like it if you please a man of God."

The first complaints against Caruana date back to the early 1970’s during his time at Daramalan College MSC, Canberra, before his stint at Daly River in the early 80s.  That’s now a civil case. 

So to recap this unholy MSC missionary position, what have we got so far?

a legacy of rampant child sexual abuse - both adult-to-children & children-to-children - who were following the example of the adults - as children do.

Caruana’s welcoming at Daly River was a sexualized event involving young girls - indicating that pedophilia had become normalized at the missions. The girls were clearly affronted when Caruana rebuffed their offers - from which we can deduce they weren’t used to being knocked back by MSC males.  Subsequently, Caruana was ostracized by the community for refusing to participate - indicating an entrenched culture at the mission - not a few rogue girls

Tony goes off to resume his own brand of sex-crimes at Chevalier College, which he’d first begun at Daramalan in the early ‘70’s, showing the extent to which sexual-perversion had taken root throughout the MSC system - to the point where there were competing types of sexual abusers - something we also saw with Frith reporting on Mamo at Monivae.

Around the time this breakdown in morality was happening, Malcolm Fyfe was in charge of overseeing the culture at the missions.
