It was appalling to learn that a person or persons unknown desecrated the body of Cardinal George Pell before it was returned to Australia. We are told that this happened after the autopsy, that his body was inadequately embalmed, that he was left undressed and that his nose had been broken. This indicates a level of vindictiveness that is hard to fathom, and shows how little regard the perpetrators had for Pell’s family: the ones most affected by this sad event.
One can only wonder at the motive: a true Christian knows that this doesn’t affect the Cardinal himself one iota. Wherever he is now, he is unaffected by the actions of humans, save for the effects of the prayers offered for his soul.
Yet, the perpetrators can barely be called human. It is almost certain that they are in some way connected with the injustices that Pell encountered during his final years, whether that be the financial corruption that is even now taking place on a grand scale, the international conspiracy that saw him convicted of an imaginary, heinous sexual crime, or the ascension of an unworthy man to the papacy. Perhaps the villains are party to all three injustices. Also, the stench of sodomy is rife in the Vatican, and sodomites are notoriously vindictive creatures.
It must be remembered that Cardinal Pell’s trumped-up child-abuse charges were made known at the same time as his colleagues at the Vatican’s Secretariat for the Economy were forced to resign. This effectively ended independent scrutiny of the Vatican’s finances. That happened very soon after Cardinal Pell suggested that the “moment of truth” was approaching for the Vatican’s financial reforms. To this day, those financial processes remain murky and the role played by mysterious million dollar payments from the Vatican to Australia has never been discovered. There is little doubt that those funds somehow influenced the plot against the Cardinal.
After his death, the body of George Pell lay in state in the church of St Stephen of the Abyssinians, which is situated in the grounds of the Vatican. While the caskets of prelates are normally left open for public veneration, Pell’s was inexplicably kept closed. Now we know why: the evildoers had abused his body and that fact needed to be kept hidden.
When Cardinal Pell died on January 10, 2023 after a routine hip surgery, many of us were taken by surprise. It is true that he was an elderly man who had endured many trials, but he was robust and had been very active in his efforts to ensure that a worthy pope would be elected at the next conclave. In fact, it is said that Cardinal Pell believed Pope Francis would not be alive for much longer, and this is given as the reason why he stayed in Rome for his operation rather than returning to Australia. Thus it was something of a shock to learn that he had suffered cardiac arrest just hours after his operation, the shock perhaps amplified by this coming shortly after the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI.
After his death, the body of George Pell lay in state in the church of St Stephen of the Abyssinians, which is situated in the grounds of the Vatican. While the caskets of prelates are normally left open for public veneration, Pell’s was inexplicably kept closed. Now we know why: the evildoers had abused his body and that fact needed to be kept hidden.
Reporter Andrew Bolt, who was a great supporter of Pell throughout his shameful trial and imprisonment, revealed some details of the desecration to Australian media. [Full video here]. Bolt said he had known for a year that the Cardinal’s body had been mistreated, but had kept it secret to avoid upsetting family members. After Libero Milone, the former Vatican Auditor-General made the disturbing news public, Andrew Bolt announced what he knew.
Bolt confirmed that there are some at the Vatican who still resent their dark secrets being revealed, something hardly surprising given just how extensive the corruption was and still is. Bolt called the desecration “the final insult to a great and innocent man”, stating that the Vatican should be “deeply ashamed” that it allowed Cardinal Pell’s body to be mistreated. He also reminded viewers that the Cardinal had told him how, despite voluntarily staying in Rome, he did not feel safe there and had his private papers kept in countries outside Italy.
Bolt said he more recently contacted David Pell, the Cardinal’s brother, who gave him additional details: the embalming had been done so inadequately in Rome that the body needed to be cleaned before burial in Australia. The body was without shoes and the Cardinal’s clothes had been simply tossed into the coffin.
Bolt had previously been told by someone close to Pell and who had witnessed the coffin being opened in Sydney that the Cardinal’s body had been “treated with gross disrespect.” Bolt said he more recently contacted David Pell, the Cardinal’s brother, who gave him additional details: the embalming had been done so inadequately in Rome that the body needed to be cleaned before burial in Australia. The body was without shoes and the Cardinal’s clothes had been simply tossed into the coffin.
The most shocking detail given by Bolt - that the Cardinal’s nose had been broken - is something very difficult to attribute to mere carelessness. A former mortuary assistant assured this author that there is “no way” a nose could be broken during the embalming process, adding that a body being repatriated should have been prepared to the highest possible standards.
Regarding the Cardinal’s death, this author had never thought it helpful to suggest that foul play was involved. Cardinal Pell unhappily had no objections to the gene serum and almost certainly had been injected with it. That fact alone makes a sudden death more likely than it otherwise would have been.
Yet now that new details have come to light, there is some doubt. It is being reported that the CCTV unit near the Cardinal’s room at the Salvator Mundi hospital wasn’t working when he died, and apparently no doctor was on duty at the time. It also remains something of a mystery as to why the Cardinal chose the Salvator Mundi in the first place, when the usual hospital for prelates is the Gemelli.
The word “cardinal” derives from the Latin noun cardo, meaning “hinge”. Cardo also means “crisis” which is exactly what Cardinal Pell instigated among the rivaling factions in the Curia, by threatening to expose their financial misdoings and by agitating to have an orthodox pope elected.
Although The Australian reported that Libero Milone, Pell’s former colleague at the Secretariat, said that the Cardinal’s death was “shrouded in mystery”, Milone later clarified that he was not suggesting foul play. However it may be the writers at The Australian were only stating aloud what so many have whispered for the past eighteen months.
Many questions remain unanswered. Was it mere coincidence that the CCTV unit was out of action or that no doctor was present? Where and when was the autopsy performed and by whom? Who had access to the Cardinal’s body after the autopsy and who performed the embalming? How much was incompetence and what was the extent of the deliberate desecration? What Vatican officials knew about the desecration and what action did they take next? Were any attempts made to make the body presentable for the Pell family after the abuse was discovered? Why could not the body have at least been dressed - the very minimum respect that could have been shown after it suffered the indignity of a desecration?
Who are the perpetrators and how did they get away with their cruel activity?
A thorough inquiry into this matter is needed, starting with the Vatican source who revealed to Ed Pentin, the excellent and reliable Vatican journalist, the alleged reason behind the mysterious money transfers which were sent from Rome to Australia. Pentin reported in 2020 that he was told by an insider that the money was for “fixing the gate” at the Canberra nunciature. Although it appears to have been proven baseless, this insider information may not have been incorrect.
For the word “cardinal” derives from the Latin noun cardo, meaning “hinge”, which is of course an integral part of every gate.
Cardo also means “crisis” which is exactly what Cardinal Pell instigated among the rivaling factions in the Curia, by threatening to expose their financial misdoings and by agitating to have an orthodox pope elected. Pentin’s source may well have passed on a mocking reference to the cabal’s persecution of our noble gatekeeper, thus proving Pell’s insightful description of the Vatican as a toxic nightmare. We must pray for a timely conclusion to this sordid affair, for the sake of the Pell family. Truth and justice must triumph as the Cardinal’s final legacy.

Sounds like a Frank thing.
Yep.
He dies January 10, 2023...
And shortly after, on Jan 23, 2023, and FBI memo is written concerning allegations against traditional Catholics as being potential domestic terrorists:
Earlier this year (2023), a leaked FBI memo dated Jan. 23 revealed the agency’s Richmond, Virginia, field office was tasked with investigating the alleged threat of “white supremacy” among Catholics who attend Latin Mass. As The Federalist’s Evita Duffy-Alfonso previously reported, the memo said the Bureau “may potentially mitigate” the supposed “threat” of “Radical-Traditionalist Catholics” with “’tripwire and source development,’ which means further infiltration into Catholic communities using various kinds of informants.”
During his July 12 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Wray claimed the January (2023) memo was “a single product by a single field office.” According to a newly unredacted version of the document obtained by House Republicans, however, that statement doesn’t appear to be true.
After months of the FBI stonewalling Republicans’ oversight efforts, the new version of the memo given to the Judiciary Committee on July 25 purportedly shows that the agency’s Portland and Los Angeles field offices “were involved in or contributed to the creation of FBI’s assessment of traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.”
January 2023 : () Less than a week before he died, Cardinal Pell wrote an article in the UK Spectator that is nothing less than a clarion call. The title of the article says it all: The Catholic Church Must Free Itself from this “Toxic Nightmare.”
“...From outside Australia, it’s probably quite difficult to have any knowledge of how hated George Pell was by a lot of progressives. I think it is probably fair to say, he was their big bogeyman from the mid 1990s onwards - when he first came to real public prominence, it was as Archbishop of Melbourne, and at that time, the big thing that upset the left was that he was very public in refusing to condone homosexuality. Left wing activists used to attend his Masses wearing rainbow sashes and he would not give them Communion - he blessed them but he said that he could not give them Communion in such a situation. This caused massive, massive outrage.
This was at about the same time, that the genuine scandal about child sex abuse by Catholic clergy was first gaining prominence here, and because he was already a public figure of hate by then, he became the target of a lot of hate about that - what the people expressing that hatred always failed to understand was part of the reason the scandals emerged at that time, was because George Pell stopped the coverups that had been routine in Melbourne, before he became Archbishop - his predecessor, Archbishop Sir Frank Little, had covered up a great deal, in common with many other senior clergy. Viewed objectively, Pell was one of the first senior Catholic clerics to move away from that approach - but that isn’t the popular narrative....—— FR’s Naturalman1975
I would venture to say Pell was equally hated in Rome by the papal crooks whom he was about to expose.
Yes, I stand by all of that.
He made himself incredibly unpopular with the progressive left in Australia, well before he became involved in things like Vatican finance.
Pope Francis seems to have respected him - but he wasn’t liked generally by the left wing of the Church either.
Certainly - but a lot of people who don’t know about the history in Australia seem to think that the financial issues are the reason he seemed to be targeted in the way he was. I’m not saying that wasn’t relevant - but he had a big target on his back from those who hated him, well before that.
