Most of the hierarchy needs to be locked up, including the ImPopester.
Cardinal Pell supported the traditional Latin Mass. The Vatican set him up to take the fall for this.
The Pope is in tears. His best friend is going to prison.
A lot of legal opinion here in Australia is that Cardinal Pell will be cleared on appeal - as happened to another former Catholic Archbishop recently (the former Archbishop of Adelaide).
It is probably impossible for a fair trial of a senior Catholic cleric to occur in Australia in the current climate - and Pell was tried more or less in secret, and tried twice for the same crimes (the first trial ended with a hung jury).
Catholic church is in serious meltdown.
Is this just one man’s testimony against another’s? Is there no other evidence confirming that the events described actually occurred?
