Time at Mt. Cashel Orphanage

In the 1990s, criminal proceedings began against members of the Christian Brotherhood in Newfoundland. The proceedings were based on allegations of physical and sexual abuse against boys at the Mount Cashel Orphanage during the 1980s. It was alleged that the Brothers were allowed to escape prosecution at the time if they left Newfoundland [ [http://www.multiline.com.au/~johnm/ethics/integrity2.htm Religious Life Without Integrity - Part 2 ] ] .
