By Lee Rhiannon, published 2/7/2007

The Church's right to free speech is different to Cardinal Pell's strongarm tactics.

Maybe if be threatened to issue a declaration calling for their death it would have been okay.

Seems like it these days.

francis, the pollies tell you what to do, not vice versa. i can understand you thinking they work for you, as everyone says so. everyone is wrong. read '1984' (again), pay close attention to newspeak and doublethink. it can happen here, in fact it did happen here.

so you can talk tough as you wish, but you still tug your forelock when they say "give me money."

they are your superiors, mate, by any test you can think of.

There seems to be this idea that Pell somehow is not allowed to voice his opinion. With easy access to the media, his own newspaper column and the Vatican behind him, I don't think he has a problem with voicing his opinion.

Pell's opponents are simply disagreeing with his opinion - which any sensible person can see is different to censoring it.

Maybe Pell ought to stand for Parliament at the next election?

Why, is Parliament the only place that one may voice an opinion? So, only politicians are allowed to voice an opinion!

"Kevin, you do realise Jesus drove people out of the temple? Why do people always think Christianity/Catholicism is about tolerance?"

Jesus stood up for the oppressed - pure and simple. he stood up to clerics and politicians alike. Why do you think both conspired to kill him - especially the clerics of his day?

Jesus would not have refused his 'table' to anyone.
