Emma Trauma - Clergy Abuse Survivor

I'm a #clergySexualAbuse adult #survivor. My #abuser was from the #Australian #DominicanOrder, a live-in #Chaplain and #librarian @ Australian National Uni #ANU

My story on alerting the Australian National University that the priest was a live-in Chaplain at the John 23rd College and a uni librarian for several years with potential victims of his from the young students.

@suzi_mancil Spiritual manipulation on women (nuns and lay women) for them to be sexually abused while they said they are ”celibate“ clergy…. Beyond morality…

@emsurvivors Thanks for sharing how it all started… great story…

STOP LIVE-IN CHAPLAINS AT UNI RESIDENTIAL CAMPUS!! @Pontifex @Dominican_Order idea that live-in #chaplains not only have physical access to residents, but also that #universityStudents themselves often have particular reasons to be vulnerable to #clerics.” #MeToo #clergyAbuse

CLEAN YOUR CHURCH !! @Pontifex @Dominican_Order. Your #priests are protected by you for #criminal activities: #sexAssault, #nunRape, #moneyLaundering, #embezzlement, #childSexAbuse, #fakeCelibacy, #nunMurder, #taxEvasion, ... #clergyAbuse #MeToo #cleanYourChurch #coverUp #NunToo

Stop cover-up @Pontifex @Dominican_Order #priest’s #sexAssault by putting them on LONG #Paid #AdminLeave which is equivalent to #VACAVACATION where priests are free to travel overseas, do more #clergyAbuse. Admin leave doesn’t exist in #canonLaw #MeToo #JohnXXIIICollege

@Ravenfly888 @Pontifex @Raven, thanks for letting Pope know, I will keep him informed with what happened here in Australia more often from now on…

The @Dominican_Order #priest’s #sexAssault on a #wife seeking #marriageCounselling in 1999 made her #husband knock on #priory door to complain. He was on PAID ADMIN leave 1999-2008 but only listed “ON LEAVE” in 2001 #CatholicDirectory. #MeToo #clergyAbuse #JohnXXIIICollege #ANU

The #DeedofRelease I signed with #Dominican #Provincial Fr Kevin Saunders in 2009 for financial #redress. Past/current #JohnXXIIICollege #clergyAbuse victims should get the redress, how small they are to cover #psychologist/#psychotherapist visits. #MeToo #UniversitiesAustralia

@Ravenfly888 What a farce, hey? https://t.co/AFSR0ZJeRJ

@SteubSurvivors @Dominican_Order @HumanHeadline @defendsurvivors @9NewsAUS @Teapepper @UniMelb @MarkStephenMur2 @RuthMalhotra @JuliaGillard @SenKatyG It’s a farce, not only the abusive priests are still priests in the Church’s eyes, they can still receive pension later. Those too old when convicted could still get medical expenses, accommodation and car on top of their pension… https://t.co/GiSeH6nBj2

YEARS-LONG PAID #administrativeLeave instead of #suspension, the #Church lets #clergy facing #sexAssault accusations leave the #ministry without getting into #penalLaw. Admin leave doesn’t exist in #canonLaw. #clergyAbuse @Dominican_Order #MeToo #JohnXXIIICollege #ANU #priest

[Emma Trauma - Clergy Abuse Survivor @TraumaEmma]

The @Dominican_Order #priest only signed the priesthood resignation papers in 2009 while employed as a #librarian at #ANU. Even those #priests found guilty of #sexAbuse & laicized, their ”being priest“ status can never be lost in the Church. #MeToo #clergyAbuse #JohnXXIIICollege

#priest #retirement #benefit = payment for #service

The #priest hadn’t left the priesthood while working at the #ANU. The #CatholicDirectory 2006 had him”on leave”. Yet, @AnuObserver was told “The person complained of had left the @Dominican_Order approximately 10 years before the mediation [between me & the #Provincial] in 2009”.

[Emma Trauma - Clergy Abuse Survivor @TraumaEmma]

@SurvivorsHall @Milliganreports @abcnews @InsidersABC @JenBrockie @suzipeep @Ravenfly888 @SteubSurvivors @barblbake @JolliffeBarbi @Teapepper Yes, he’s still a #JohnXXIIICollege Board member starting since the year I reported the #SexAssault in 2008. He knew the #priest hadn’t signed the papers to leave the priesthood then and was living and working in the #ANU.

[Emma Trauma - Clergy Abuse Survivor @TraumaEmma]

Fr Kevin Saunders was @Dominican_Order #Provincial 2008-2017 & #ANU #JohnXXIIICollege Board member since 2008, witnessed #priests living with #UniStudents, #Centacare (Catholic) counselling #residentialStudents and apologised to me!!. #MeToo #clergyAbuse

[Emma Trauma - Clergy Abuse Survivor @TraumaEmma]

In comments to @AnuObserver, a @Dominican_Order senior leader confirmed that they consciously didn’t contact @ourANU when the sexual assault report was made in 2008 because “[they] had absolutely no right to do so” #clergyAbuse #MeToo #JohnXXIIICollege #ANU
