The CRP podcast returns to True Crime as Jack outlines his investigations into the Ballarat Diocese and how offending priests were moved out and their scandalous behavior covered up.

This is the sequel to Unholy Trinity where VicPol conspired with the Catholic Church in 1972 to protect an outrageous paedophile priest from being charged.

More than 20 years later, they were up to it again as the Ballarat Diocese sought to remove 'embarrassing' priests from the Church and let them loose on unsuspecting communities.
