By Lee Rhiannon, published 2/7/2007

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

Sydney's Cardinal George Pell is big and bold enough to defend
himself but some Catholic politicians need a reality check from their
fellow Catholics. The reality is that it is pew Catholics worldwide who have been appealing to the Church hierarchy for decades to defend human life as Cardinal Pell, Scotland's Cardinal O'Brien on the 40th anniversary of the British Abortion Act and other international Catholic leaders are doing now.They have had enough of compassionless Catholic politicians tolerating the abortion carnage of 100,000 Australian babies annually, remaining silent while colleagues try to destroy those Pregnancy Counselling Helplines which might actually help a woman give life not death to her baby and fall for the con science of human cloning. No football team would tolerate the disloyalty or lack of talent these politicians display. For years attempts have been made to discredit Pope Pius X11 for doing too little to stop the Jewish holocaust. When the dark history of the abortion holocaust is written it will not be be Cardinal Pell who is discredited but these politicians.They would do well to have heeded the words of one Victorian legislator speaking against cloning legislation: "It has been suggested that we do not profit anything at all if we sell our souls, even if we gain the whole world in exchange. How much less do we profit when we accept what we know to be profoundly wrong and get
nothing in exchange?"

Mr Public Opinion,

"It is quite evident that Ms Rhiannon understands nothing about how the Catholic Church works..."

You didn't go far enough Ms Rhiannon understands nothing.
