Abuse survivor urges school to remove priests' portraits

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 1 November 2018

A survivor of past sex abuse by two priests at a Wellington college is demanding their portraits be taken down from the school's walls. Wellington's Catholic diocese admits one of the two, Father Fred Durning, abused boys but says the display of the portraits is not a statement of approval. A second victim, at another school, thinks the scale of the offending means Catholic authorities must have known. Phil Pennington reports.
