CARDINAL GEORGE PELL
Why Pell? Equipped with brains, managerial talent and force of personality, he had risen to eminence while espousing all the wrong opinions affecting the Catholic Church. A vocal conservative on political as well as theological matters, he doubted climate change and opposed gay marriage. A cardinal since 2003, he ascended to become head of Vatican finances and a member of Pope Francis inner circle.
With the successful prosecution of Pell, the progressive media and political establishments have their man at last.

The dissenting appellate judge concluded that the sole accusers wholly uncorroborated testimony contained discrepancies, displayed inadequacies and otherwise lacked probative value.

Nobody is innocent. All have sinned and come short.

Since when is it wrong for a Catholic clergyman to sexually abuse young boys?He didn't do it. That's the point.

Well, yeah, but even if he did, so what? The Catholic Church usually rallies around child molesters.

One big implausibility is that fags don’t want choir boys to fellate them so much as they want to fellate choir boys.

Multiple witness and circumstantial testimony outweighs a single unsubstantiated accusation in any court of justice in western civilization. Unless, of course, we wish to go back to the days of the witch trials, as seems the case here.

Nobody is innocent.With that in mind, why do we even bother with trials? Why have a judicial system?

The bad guys won’t rally around him because he is a straight, white male who abides by the teaching of the Church. They hate him for not loving sodomy, that is why they convicted him with no evidence.

This case will be appealed to the High Court of Australia. Meanwhile Cardinal Pell languishes in a prison cell twenty-three hours a day.

Rather than howls of outrage from members of the Catholic Church, this should elicit a pause of reflection as to how it came to pass that the organization has so little credibility on issues relating to pederasty that even normally-convincing evidence in their favor is rejected by regular folk.

Just another cover up of pedo priests and their enables. The new York Slimes works for the swamp.
To: SeekAndFind; All
Another reason to mention the impossibility of this story they cooked up is: Cardinal Pell had a routine after Mass at the Cathedral and that is that he remained OUTSIDE the Cathedral after Mass, greeting parishioners etc.
So these Catholic haters trying to frame someone, didn’t finish their cooked up explanarion story.

And leftists will continue to use lawfare against us. This is a war, folks. The left will eventually come for you.
