Fury is growing over the Catholic Church's handling of Christopher Saunders, the former bishop of Broome in Western Australia, who was convicted of sexually assaulting young Aboriginal men and remains a senior cleric despite being jailed. Reporting by Erin Parke examines his privileged lifestyle and the crimes behind it, with critics accusing the Church of refusing to properly strip him of his status.
