YES!!! Justice is done!
Glory and honor and praise to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Very good news.
Do some false witnesses get jail time?
money?
priest hating?
Catholic hating?
I don't care and am delighted that justice was done.
I was just curious.
There is only one witness who said Pell was guilty - the complainant. That is part of the reason this was farcical - the unsupported word of one person was given more credibility by the Jury than over 20 witnesses who said it could not have happened.
It is unusual for the complainant in a sexual assault case that fails to face any legal consequences - and in this case, I think that is very unlikely. We know very little about the man - but from what we do know he seems a very sad individual with a very sad history. A lot of people believe he was abused by a Priest - and was manipulated into having false memories of who that Priest was.
Pell just got too close to finding out what was going on in the Vatican Bank.
Some of it was an anti-Catholic witch hunt.
A lot of it was directed at Pell personally who has been the most hated man by the left in Australia since the mid 1990s. I’m not exaggerating in saying that - he has been their bugbear and bogey man for a quarter of a century. It started when he stood up for the Church’s teachings on homosexuality, and increased when he was the most senior and visible Catholic cleric in the country when the child abuse scandals (nearly all of which happened well before he was in charge) became public.
The other accuser recanted on his death bed.
Good. He was railroaded like Joe Paterno was railroaded.
In fact, the other alleged victim never claimed to be abused. When his mother asked him, repeatedly, he said he had not been.
He never recanted because he never alleged.
Those people who slandered him and lied about him will pay...someday. What goes around...
It's amazing that there is still Catholic hatred around.
Why would anyone care now??
This isn't the Catholic hating 16th century any more.
Homosexual behavior IS wrong, sinful, aberrant and not normal. Every culture thought so. Every culture THINKS so. Every culture will ALWAYS think so.
Those sad, pathetic, aberrant homosexuals should be glad that it's not a crime.
So the media lied?
Blessed be God!
In some cases, yes.
good. but that’s a divisive topic on here among some on here
Really? Do some folks believe that Paterno got off and really was the bad guy?
yes! MANY on here. I’m a PSU fan but I originally bought the media line about it, but it was all speculation that they pinned on him. Many ohio state fans on here attack him.
