victims themselves, their families, the anti-
Catholic press (?) our legal system, the 12
jurors, are all biased.
Whereas NewsCorp, David Bolt, Miranda Devine,
et al, are as pure as the driven slush?
After all -
Pell did everything to curb pedophile priests in his
years as auxiliary bishop because the predators of
some of the worst of them were being reported to him.
He listened to the pleas of parents and teachers.
He earned his stripes in his war against sexual abuse
in the church - right?
He protected children. He disciplined priests, he
comforted the abused. the allegations against him
were after all not proven (nor dismissed).
John Paul II and Benedict XVI were very impressed with
the Cardinal. Pope Francis takes a rather different
view:
"Behind rigidity something always lies hidden."
"In many cases a double life."
