Australian Antichurch Prelate Faces Trial for Predatory Crimes Against Aboriginal Youths
The Pillar portal reports that the criminal trial of Christopher Saunders, the conciliar “bishop” of Broome, Western Australia, commenced on July 21, 2026, in the District Court of Western Australia. Saunders, 76, faces 26 charges of sexual offenses against three young Aboriginal men, alleged to have occurred during his 25-year tenure as the local ordinary of the conciliar structure in the Kimberley region. The prosecution details a sordid pattern of “alcohol-fueled” parties at Church properties, a “shirts off” dress code, and the use of boxing and wrestling as a “subterfuge” for physical contact, all funded by ecclesiastical monies. The defense predictably cries prejudice against the “Catholic Church” and reduces the matter to a credibility contest. This proceedings lays bare the putrefaction of the conciliar hierarchy, a rotten fruit of the post-conciliar revolution that has replaced the regnum Christi with a sanctuary for predators.
