I have personally suffered from unfair feminist attacks by the police and the courts in the leftist police state of Victoria in southeastern Australia.
I survived but suffered crippling suicidal ideation. What was done to Cardinal Pell was worse than what was done to me.
He was imprisoned for conducting a mass. That is what he did on the day in question. 20 witnesses contradicted his accusers testimony but the corrupt Victorian legal system imprisoned him for over 400 days.
In his mid seventies.
He survived. In my way of thinking his survival was a miracle.
His personal strength seems to me to be Godlike. Christlike. Saintlike.
I am neither Catholic nor Christian.
I hope George Pell receives all the Honors he deserves.
So... he conducted a Mass and 20 people said he didn't?
Jorge Bergoglio would sooner canonize George Floyd or George Soros than George Cardinal Pell. Of course Cardinal Pell is still alive.
As always, I’m sure you’re just being obtuse.
He conducted a Mass as he was supposed to. Many people attending.
Following service he joined parishioners outside and then came back in to the sacristy to disrobe. Remove heavy cardinal robes and white alb. He was fully clothed under his vestments.
His accusers say he molested them while disrobing. There is a view of the sacristy that is visible to the laity. There were approximately 20 witnesses that say nothing amiss happened. (even one of the accusers retracted their claims later).
Cardinal Pell has been at the forefront of stopping pedophile priests and has done much good for the RCC. He is truly a hero of that church that has been made to suffer a great deal.
In full disclosure, I am not RCC, and disagree with much of their teachings and have a dislike of where Francis has brought that church. I will not however slander (or libel) a good man like Pell.
If he’s saved, he’s a saint right now.
But as saints still alive in the fallen world, we are also sinmers. Both sinner and saint at the same time.
IE the saints that need forgiveness every day are the ones still walking around on the planet.
Yep.
Thank you.
