Solidarity ribbons tied to the fence of St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney put a spotlight on clergy abuse, but as quickly as they are tied the ribbons are being taken down.
A Ballarat survivor of child sexual abuse has said the repeated removal of ribbons from St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney won't deter him from putting a spotlight on clergy abuse endured by innocent people.The ribbons of solidarity for sexual assault victims have been removed four times in the past 48 hoursSt Mary's Cathedral will be the final resting place of Cardinal George Pell
An initiative by advocacy group Loud Fence Inc, the ribbons are a signal of solidarity with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Mr Auchettl believes those removing the ribbons were either employees of the church or "staunch supporters of George Pell who believe we are desecrating the church".The latter group has repeatedly made verbal and physical threats towards those tying the ribbons, Mr Auchettl said.
