I disagree with the view that there was no compunction on the church to provide compensation. Much of what happened occurred under the church's stewardship. If it did not offer compensation, it would find it very difficult to preach to its flock especially in view of its eroded moral authority. Senator White referred to binge drinking among the young. Senator Moylan and other Senators know of the tremendous respect people had for the church when we were growing up. There was also respect for those who decided to become a pioneer. Young pioneers today feel like pariahs when they socialise with their peers, which is regrettable. Some of the changes that have taken place in society are not for the better.
