130. Patrick Mills: How systemic is sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church? (Trigger warning.Sexual abuse references)

We’re really excited about today’s guest.  He will be a familiar name to many.  Pat Mills has been a successful writer and editor of popular culture from the age of 20, developing comics, novels, science fiction, film and game work. 

 

Perhaps best-known as the developer of Judge Dredd and writer of Charley’s War, a long running anti-war saga that sells throughout Europe, all of Pat’s stories are about fighting abusive authority.  That trait extends to the catholic church and his experiences as a child.

 

Pat also would be described as a whistleblower.  He has a really insightful grasp of the structure of the Roman Catholic Church and how its highly organised structure has enabled a network of paedophiles to operate within it.  He is working hard to expose this and make it more transparent to others.  This conversation is likely to shock and depress you in places.
