1. I am a little confused by this article; the ages don't seem to add up to me. If the now 38 year old victim was abused when he was eight, then the priest who is currently 49 years of age would have been 19, and thus could not possibly have been a priest; he may have been a seminarian at this age. Could someone check these ages to see what the real story is. Mt Gravatt QLD
