Barry Coldrey's page. http://www.barrycoldrey.com . Updates: Feb 27, 2004 - Two new publications have been added to the Religious section. - There are four new sections on this website: 'HSC/VCE English Resources,' 'Miscellaneous,' a 'Leo Griffin annexe', and 'International Orders.' Feb 26, 2004 - Added three new URLs to the links section.
Barry Coldrey, Ph. D., was in a Catholic Church order, the Christian Brothers, which asked him to write a history of unparented child migration to Western Australia.  From writing that a small number of Christian Brothers had molested and been cruel to children, he began to learn that it was a wider problem than that.  An opponent at one time of VOICES (a group of victims) in Western Australia, his later books and writings have helped VOICES and all who expose religion-based sexual abuse of children and women with valuable facts and links.  It is hoped that his website, advised by e-mail on March 3, 2004, will prove similarly helpful. -- Faith Purification Programme, 04 Mar 04

Renegate Catholic. USA. www.renegade catholic.com . This site belongs to Jay Nelson, a survivor of Roman Catholic clergy abuse, and since 1991 a priest of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch – Malabar Rite www.churchof antioch.org/ . He fled what he calls the dogmatic prison of the Church of Rome as a young adult long before I realized I had been molested. "The discovery completely overturned my life, and my efforts to found a parish soon withered. My main focus turned to clergy abuse activism. I participated in local protests and even led the only group of victims to demonstrate at World Youth Day in 1993," he writes. For over a decade, he published both the newsletter and website for The Survivors of Clergy Abuse Linkup (now The Healing Alliance), USA. Most of his articles, plus historical "smoking gun" documents and much else, he's republished on his Priests of Darkness website. He wrote a novel: The Harrowing, and later a much funnier work, a movie script for a dark medieval comedy, Once Upon An Inquisition.

CHURCH REFORM ORGANISATIONS
The International Federation of Married Catholic Priests www.marriedpriests.org/International_Federation.htm , The 'International Federation of Married Catholic Priests' is constituted by the affiliation of organizations of married Catholic priests, which have some national representation. The aim of the Federation is the renewal of the ministry of the Church. This renewal is to be seen within the renewal of the Church. Aims include: Changing the law of mandatory celibacy, the ministry of the married priest being as acceptable as the ministry of the celibate priest, and, Speeding up the dispensation process in the meantime, for those who ask for it or have asked for it. The Married Priests' Website homepage www.marriedpriests.org/index.htm has some useful links.
Roman Rite www.romanrite.com of J.R. Lilburne jr@romanrite.com has interesting informative and sourced comments on the Child Sex-Abuse and Hush-up scandals. His main interest is pointing out that the clergy are not performing the rituals of the Catholic liturgy (Latin Rite) correctly, but he makes telling points that if the bishops and priests had followed other Church rules "to the letter," the harm to souls, these damaging scandals, and the increasing costs would not be occurring.
