The biggest defenders of power protection at this moment are the thermophobics defending the toppling pseudo science of Human Induced Global warming, Binoy.

There is a whole gravy train of climate science Hare Krishna's chanting "We have 97% agreement" now being forced to defend their indefensible claim that humans are driving climate change.

Pell = Evil
Global Warming = A fact of life.
Get used to both of them.

The Cardinal can do no RIGHT: George Pell's Attackers and Witch Hunters.

Miranda Devine is right: Catholics are being hunted.

"Pell = Evil
Global Warming = A fact of life.
Get used to both of them.

Not going to wait for the appeal?

"I'm not absolutely certain of the facts,
but I rather fancy it's Shakespeare who says
that it's always just when a fellow is feeling
particularly braced with things in general that
Fate sneaks up behind him with the bit of
lead piping."
(P.G. Wodehouse).

Cardinal Pell had his lead piping recently served to
him by 12 jurors.

Whether he'll get another serve we have to wait and see.

Binoy,

What ?! " .... hoping that faith prevails over evidence" ?! Or that " .... assertions don't require evidence" ? What evidence apart from assertions ? Although there is supposed to be a presumption of innocence before a court has finalised any evidence, surely a case has to be made, even against suspected pedophiles ?

Can you see the possibility, the danger, that an Appeals Court may overturn that verdict on the grounds of insufficiency of the weight of the evidence provided ? That Pell might get off - and not because all of the appellate court judges are secret Catholics or reactionaries or whatever - but because the evidence is insufficient ? That he may walk, scot-free ? Unless he is actually innocent (in this case), I don't want to see that.

Cheers,

Joe
