a) government complicity in the crimes
b) investigating politicians are not and can not ever be secular due to a belief in the god of the religions under review.

Independence for this inquiry would mean that those investigating these crimes should not be a part of the government due to its involvement in the crimes or religious (Jewish, Christian, Muslim or other religion) due to involvement in the crimes.

Therefore a parliamentary inquiry will never find on behalf of the victims as it can never consider the possibility that there is no god and that therefore the catholic church is therefore a fraud. It can and will never be able to consider the church as a deluded psychological abusive criminal cult with dominionist and sexual obsessions that is capable of stealing and selling children, blackmailing and abusing women and children, bullying and intimidating itself into a position of power and authority in all aspects of the state and society nor can it ever recommend the suspension of any activity of a religious belief regardless of the extent of the atrocities through the use of religion and belief that is presented to an inquiry made up of those with an unstinting, unswerving belief in the religion or its practices.

A believing parliamentarian cannot even consider the possibility that religion can be wrong let alone give consideration from the perspective of there being no god while any of its members believe in the in-errancy, infallibility, eternal punishment, biblical judgment or other beliefs of their own religion. Such a body should never be called to investigate crimes carried out by religion and by government.

A true independent can only come from those who have no belief in the god of the religions under review and preferably from those who were not indoctrinated into the religion before they were able to freely choose for themselves. This parliamentary inquiry can not be considered to be secular in any manner what-so-ever. The parliamentary inquiry will never be capable of finding against the beliefs of a religion of members of the inquiry therefore the inquiry can never determine the truth nor can it find in favor of those survivors and victims who have no belief in the god or the religion that was used to abuse them and the religion of those inquiring into those abuses.

Religious believers are simply not capable of conducting this investigation in an independent manner, nor are thy capable of providing justice for victims and survivors who are now atheists and non-blievers; will their assessment of what is a fair and just response towards atheist and non-believer survivors be measured by the religious beliefs of those making up the inquiry that specifically exclude and condemn non-believers?

The testimony of atheist survivors simply cannot be accepted nor considered equally for validation and investigation by believers in the religions under question as the veracity of the witness due to their non-belief is already cast through the teachings and beliefs of the religions of the inquirers.

Under such a circumstance the findings of the inquiry can be determined before it concludes that it must find against atheist survivors and therefore in favor of their abusers on the basis of religious belief.

The inquiry is already a sham and a fraud as the inquiry begins its life with a polluted and toxic environment due to a predetermined religious bias against atheist survivors and their testimonies.
