The Vatican’s third most powerful official has been convicted in Australia on all charges he sexually abused two choir boys there in the late '90s, according to two sources with knowledge of the case.
A unanimous jury returned its verdict for Cardinal George Pell on Tuesday (Australian time) after more than three days of deliberations, the sources said, in a trial conducted under a gag order by the judge that prevented any details of the trial being made public.....

So 20 years ago.
Now I see why the Pope made is comment on homosexuality the other day.
The Catholic Church is in deep trouble.
The homos are destroying the Church, and the only remedy will be an immediate and concerted purge to remove them. That will mean going against the pervasive, corrupt political and social spirit of present age - which ironically, is something the Church should always do.
Present Church hierarchy is not prepared to do this.
Extradite from the Vatican.
Wonderful theater.
Because the Vatican will not comply.
When did the free-for-all start? I'm thinking with easy access to birth control. That's when sexual relations for so many became a game with no consequences.
JMHO
I wonder if they’ll trade him next season.
Australians and Americans share a common culture and language and readily communicate with each other, especially over the internet. RC churchmen have a particularly strong network, all paid for by the parishioners. There’s a very strong likelihood that, given their sense of immunity, the numerous homosexual prelates were sharing gigabytes of cool pictures of delectable young, naked choir boys, all in violation of US law. Now Federal and state law enforcement agencies are delving deeply into all of this. Any bets on how many high ranking homosexual US prelates are going to go down and end up wearing orange vestments in the next few years??
If they don’t extradite him, it tells us all we need to know. And that artifact of Mussolini, that a religion is recognized as a nation is long overdue for a revisit. That was a dirty deal where non-RCC Benito would get endorsed by the church, if he didn’t step on them. It wasn’t till the early 80s that we sent an ambassador there.
“Extradite from the Vatican.”
Pell is in Australia. As a bail condition, Pell surrendered his Vatican passport and is not permitted to leave Australia.
Since Pell is not a modernist, they will probably throw him under the bus.
One down, two to go.
When is the Pope going to accept responsibility for the church, demand a purge of homosexuals, starting from the top, then resigning? As a Catholic, I am sick that the church circles the wagons, defend the homosexuals in their midst, even move them around, lie about them, to avoid transparency and accountability. Until they make fundamental change, the church is suspect, is basically a criminal predatory enterprise. Maybe all priests should be automatically added to sex offender lists?
Some similarities in the cultures of Australia and U.S.A but I wouldn’t say they were common. Most Aussies probably scratch their heads watching American sitcoms, hearing the cast laughing but having no idea what about. We don’t share the same sense of humour fortunately.
As for Pell. Let him burn in hell
And there is some truth to the story of Stalin sending agents to encourage homosexuals to infiltrate the RCC priesthood in the 1920s. And that has self perpetuated as they rose to high positions and selected the next echelons in the following decades.
The RCC truly needs a Christ clearing the moneychangers moment to regain any relevance. Homo pedophile priests and leaders should be beaten and slapped down the aisle and out the door. They should have their collar ripped off, be slapped across the face and then be kicked down the steps.
They would be shocked at the support they would get. It’s astonishing to me to know the Catholic people I do, and see how devout they are, and how they love Jesus, try to do right, and how the are brothers of at least this one baptist boy..and then see the perverted pedophiles running their church.
I see the catholics I know as essentially powerless hostages much as I have no power to change DC.
A reckoning is coming.
Would you consider a church that loves Jesus so much that it self-purges homosexuality?

Exactly. I can’t count how many catholic friends I have. None of them are pedophile homo molesters, and I can’t say I agree with their theology, but their eyes are all cast in the right direction in my estimation.
Something is very wrong when the highest levels of leadership are so out of synch with the people. Same as in our US government.
“Pell is in Australia.”
Apparently, in addition to being a pederast he is stupid too.
“is basically a criminal predatory enterprise”
RICO!!!
