“ Happily, I think most of Australia was enjoying [and] delighting in the beauty and goodness of these young people and the hope for us doing these sorts of things better in the future, as we saw last night, rather than dwelling crankily, as a few people are doing, on old wounds
—
Bishop Anthony Fisher, co-ordinator of the Catholic World Youth Day week in Sydney.
The old wounds are the rape of two sisters by a Catholic Priest when the girls were in primary school. One of the girls committed suicide six months ago, the other became dependent on alcohol and suffered brain damage after being involved in a car accident while intoxicated.
