The conviction was unanimous. Take him out and just execute him now. Let a higher authority address his appeal and excuses.
So was Jesus Christ's conviction.
I will not judge the guilt or innocence of George Pell. I will leave that to the Australian legal system. At age 77, it is time for him to be retired.
Jorge Bergolio is age 81. What about him?
You want to equate the two?!
Whether Pell is innocent or guilty, it seems certain that his character has undergone such damage that he will never be allowed again to raise his voice in defense of Holy Mother Church.
Thanks for posting, ebb tide.
Pell was tried three times for the same “crime” until they finally got their “conviction”. Australia is the perfect setting for a kangaroo court.
Comment found at your link:
I’ll repeat my comments from an earlier posts.
Let’s look at some facts
1,He shut down two homo seminaries and attacked homo clergy.
2,Told Catholics who we shouldn’t vote for based on Catholic moral teaching and attacked wicked evil politicians who were fighting with the Church.
3,He was “king maker” for some good Bishops and promoted good priests.
4,Invited sound orthodox religious orders to his Archdiocese and established traditionalist groups.
5,Audited and investigated Vatican bank and its finances.
6, Good friend and ally with Pope Benedict XVI
Bottom line is he was one of the few Bishops who actually did his job and made loads of enemies from the Church and state.
BTW... fun fact...The city of Melbourne (where this “court case” was) is run by the very politicians and judges who happen to be his mortal enemies.... gee whiz what a coincidence!
Very interesting.
The church as a poor record on this. I trust the guilty convictions. If he is homosexual, then even more so. Every homosexual in the clergy, from the pope down, needs to be removed. It has been a while (since about the 1870s), but the church needs to exact justice directly and call them to the Vatican and execute them. Get rid of them all.
Repeated, secret trials and you trust the conviction passed by a secular anit-catholic court?
Against homosexual clergy that the church won’t police, sure, why not. If the church would take this seriously and remove these clergy, and through the church convicted and executed or jail them, then it would be easy to defer to the church. But currently, they act to protect an excuse these clergy.
Do you trust the conviction passed by Pontius Pilate? Or the non-conviction of OJ Simpson?
Are you a homosexual member of the clergy or a closeted supporter? That would explain it. Otherwise, notice that the rest of us, Catholics and others, are cheering the conviction.
As you say. Cardinal Pell has an excellent record for being faithful to the Church and for ferreting out heretical bishops and priests. I really haven’t followed this recently, but I suspect that the bad clergy in the Australian Church have worked with the Catholic-haters in the Aussie government to “convict” him.
Are you kidding?
Bergolio protects and hides his real homo clerics. What about McCarrick, Wuerl, Marx, Maradiags, James Martin, S.J., Felix Genn, Franz-Josef Bode, Godfried Danneels, etc?
Francis surrounds himself with homos, even his house mother is a homo, yet he dismisses conservative bishops/priests on trumped up charges of “homosexuality”.
I’ll just say this “conviction” stinks ... smells like the courtroom was full of kangaroos.
