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.

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.
