The words “rapist” and “no justice” have been graffitied on St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne with inverted crosses attached to the church’s gate after Cardinal George Pell was acquitted for child sex abuse.

In similar scenes, a children’s tricycle, ribbons and a paper bag bearing a biblical quote have been left on the gate of the east Melbourne monastery where Cardinal Pell spent his first night of freedom after 405 days in prison.

Cardinal Pell, who consistently maintained his innocence throughout the legal ordeal, was taken to the Carmelite Monastery in Kew on Tuesday afternoon after being released from HM Prison Barwon.

Does this qualify as a hate crime?

Unfortunately, there are some vicious Catholic haters in Australia. Cardinal Pell is a good man, and he was wrongly imprisoned.

Let’s be honest here. Pell is not hated for an alleged crime. He is hated because he stood, almost alone, against the LGTB agenda. The alleged crime was just the means to bring him down.

Well... yeah, that was my point.

Like Jussie, I’m sure this is all about appearance and narrative.

It is a good sign when your adversaries display their puerile ignorance.

This strengthens the Church.

Not taking issue; just stating it plainly.

Exactly right. Pell is the victim of a classic witch hunt. And as an avowed enemy of the LGBT agenda, sodomite ‘marriage,’ abortion on demand, etc., he’s the cultural equivalent of a witch.
