SYDNEY, Australia (ChurchMilitant.com) - A jury has found Cdl. George Pell guilty on all counts related to sexually abusing two altar boys.
According to sources who spoke to The Daily Beast, a jury returned a unanimous verdict Tuesday against the Australian cardinal after three days of deliberation. Church Militant confirmed the news with its own inside sources in Australia. Further details are unavailable, as the court has issued a suppression order to Australian media to "prevent a real and substantial risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice."
A previous trial resulted in a hung jury.
Pell had been accused of molesting two altar boys during a swimming trip in the 1990s, when he was bishop in Ballarat, a town northwest of Melbourne. Pell has vigorously denied the allegations, and his attorney, Robert Richter, said in 2017 that there is "voluminous" evidence to show that "what was alleged is impossible."
Although multiple accusations were levelled at the cardinal initially, the court threw out most of them.
Pell was named the Vatican's Secretariat for the Economy in 2014, making him the third highest-ranking cleric in Rome. He was brought in ostensibly to clean up Vatican finances, exercising oversight over Vatican properties and personnel.

Not surprised at all.
Why couldn’t he just get married?
That’s what wives are for.
And the 17th letter revealed the name at 11 am EST today. This is the first article I have found that confirms it.
:)
Maybe if the CHURCH had [non-trans] Altar Girls instead....
Wouldn't this be a bit outside of Qou know who's lane? [different Continent/Country and different world-wide Administrationial Hierarchy?]
I’m not impressed with Australia’s system of non-public trials. What was the evidence against the guy? I just don’t know what to make of this one, as the nature of the evidence against him hasn’t been publicly disclosed. It’s not like a McCarrick situation where everyone and his brother apparently knew about the man’s antics and essentially no one is defending him. Many Australian Catholics who know Pell well, on the other hand, say that the accusations are bogus. Let’s face it. Because of the crimes of their brother priests, essentially all accused are guilty until proven innocent in the minds of some members of the public.
Previous thread said it was a secret, for who was convicted and for what crime.
Dark to light. Good over evil.
No- Many subjects/ organizations and always WW(WorldWide).
Did you know that the UK and Austria were involved in setting up Trump about Russia and other things. That is why those countries are fighting the Declass of the FISA documents.
The deep state operates world wide.
Look at how this pope is a total leftist. And the pope pushes the progressive and liberal agenda. Open boarders, Flooding of countries by immigrants. The total NWO agenda is supported by the pope. Because this pope is a player in that game. And the work to corrupt all churches has been in play for years.
“Austria”?
I DON’T THINK SO.
Do you speak Austrian?
Qou know Who is really beyond his portfolio here.
Not that Zer is wrong, just that zer has not really been keeping up with zer immediate tasks.
Totally a Good ThingTM
The 17th Letter is a Messiah working to reform the Church beyond the successes of Luther??
Use your time machine and go back to a time when someone can understand you. Back to a time when everything and everyone was so simple.
Put him in open pop. The inmates will know what to do.
If qou can’t understand me, qou should ignore me.
Seriesly, what possible interest does Qou Know Who have to do with representing Trump in Australian Ecumenical Matters?
A man who molests young boys is probably not into women in that way.
