shadowminister,

Oh dear.

Those who have read your last post are now dumber
for having done so. We award you no points, and
may God have mercy on your soul.

Foxy,

As usual, you come running to defend an idiot's ranting.

Pell's name was cleared, and your personal prejudices are just that and not worth the paper they are printed on.

shadowminister,

Pell's name was not cleared. The Royal Commission
tarnished his reputation severely. As did the many
survivors of sexual abuse who were protesting outside
the churches and tying ribbons around the cathedral
and church fences and gates.

Plus, the crimes for which he was never tried (and there
are many) are still remembered by many who are still
alive. Pell's record goes back to when he was a young
priest in Ballarat in the 1960s.

Seriously, you need to stop defending a person although is
now dead - the survivors of his crimes are still alive and
bear the scars they are forced to wear.

Please stop defending the man. It does not do you any credit.
Or help in the healing that the church should now undertake.

Trust in the church and the clergy is at an all time
low. And Pell has in no small way contributed to this
dilemma by his actions. It needs to be acknowledged.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the Church decided to
get rid of Pope Francis and make Pell a saint.

This is worth a read:

SM,

I know it was very crowded around the old fellas box on Thursday down at the big house, with all those luminaries from the LIBERAL PARTY trying to get their heads in for one last hurrah, I believe the Mad Monk was exceptionally greedy in that regard, elbowing Little Johnny Howard out of the way to get in first. I hope YOU didn't miss out.

One very important court where Pell was found guilty on all charges is the Court Of Public Opinion, and public opinion is still running strongly denouncing Pell as a paedophile. The legalistic outcome may be interpreted by you and others of the conservative right as indicating Pells innocence, but the inescapable fact which even you cannot deny is, at best Pell was a paedophile enabler, at worst a paedophile of the worst order. Your choice given your love of the old slagger!

You called me an idiot again, that's not nice, our truce may not last.
