Opinion:
WATCHING local priests tie ribbons to church fences says a lot about the Loud Fence movement.
Previously, the issue of child abuse within the church had been a matter not to be talked about and kept in the dark.
However, the Loud Fence movement has been one which has been about showing community support for the survivors.
The people tying ribbons, some with connections to churches and others not, want to send a message to those survivors.
To say, ‘we understand it is tough and we want to see change and support you to get the closure you deserve’.
