It also included a Danish film that was freely available to borrow from the priest’s local public library, at Toukley.Īll charges against Father Sedevic were dismissed on July 31, although the priest admitted he had been ‘‘flitting. What made it all the more unusual is that the art in question included a Swedish film only recently, and controversially, banned in Australia, despite being more than 30 years old. Father Sedevic, 73, whose name graces a Catholic welfare centre in Sydney, became an unlikely player in an unusual case in a Gosford courtroom on July 31 – when a magistrate was required to determine the point at which art becomes child pornography.

Three films – one Swedish, one Danish, one French – were taken away, and some time later his possession of those films led to child pornography charges against him.

It was in Father Sedevic’s Scandinavian section that his problems really started – as if police knocking on a Catholic priest’s door on a winter morning to ask questions about a Canadian website caught up in a global child pornography sting wasn’t problem enough. ‘‘Because there are a lot of videos down in my dungeon, whatever you call it,’’ he said, a little flustered, but it explained the films stacked in his bedroom like a suburban video library.

In August last year when police from State Crime Command’s sex crimes unit knocked on his door, and later asked the nervous cleric why he had so many DVDs stored in his bedroom, the answer was space. There they were in trays, shelves and containers on the morning police arrived last year – films like Jindabyne, The Castle and Newsfront in the Australian section The Very Best of Dire Straits and The Bee Gees Greatest Hits in music, and The World’s Most Extraordinary Prayers in a category all on its own. RETIRED Catholic priest Edward Sedevic is a film buff, a hoarder, a man who has more than 3000 carefully catalogued and categorised DVDs in the Central Coast home he shares with his sister.
