ONE of the nation's most respected Catholics has lashed out at Victoria Police's conduct during the state's parliamentary inquiry into child sex abuse, singling out for criticism a former high-ranking member of the now defunct Office of Police Integrity.

Father Frank Brennan called into question the behaviour by now Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton and accused the force of mounting a campaign of spin as part of unfair and false attacks on the church. He dismissed as "bunkum" key elements of Mr Ashton's commentary.
