Adelaide Catholic Archbishop Philip Wilson has been charged with concealing child sexual abuse, New South Wales Police have confirmed.

The charges relate to paedophile priest Jim Fletcher, who worked with the Archbishop in NSW in the 1970s.

The NSW Special Commission of Inquiry into the Maitland Catholic Diocese recommended that a senior church official be charged over the matter, although the report did not name the official.

Agreed Pala, but none of them are really equipped to step into the roles of the afore mentioned.

Which roles? Emergency welfare?

Not necessarily emergency welfare.
Adoptions and foster care work. Drug, alcohol and abuse supporter. Working with indigenous communities. Huge drives like 'Toys and Tucker'.
The existing organisations have a lot to offer still. At this stage, they aren't replacable with the alternatives. One day they will be though, I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be. However, I don't really see a need for a mass secularisation of the charity/NFP/welfare and support agencies.
