I wonder sometimes whether the producers of the "Exorcist" films weren't trying to tell us something ey:

" Let Jesus *&$% you! Let Jesus *&$% you! "

It is also a shame that we didn't hear more from "Ridzdale" as one of the pedophiles themselves, as we must remember that pedophilia and the aiding and abetting of same is not the only crime of these twisted individuals.

Importantly, and we must thank Foxy for her ongoing efforts into the study of the historical record, bent priests also did much in the way of absolving individuals for all manner of genocidal practice in the past and may be a considered a debt not soon forgotten by some.

If Pell attends and is subsequently found to have been well aware of the pedophile problem (and then some) I suspect that he may then also be found to have purgered himself.

I wonder whether there is trouble brewing in some parts. Remember how some frothed at the mouth over the painting "Piss Christ?" ..

Thereafter, as the commonwealth itself is, rightly in my view, accused of orchestrating what amounts to institutionalised child abuse then it should be no surprise that their supporters seek to play down child abuse more generally. It is as the Greens leader said today, the guvment fears the judgement of the public at large if the full horrors of the detention system are brought into focus.

.. and now, the ABC notes that an unnamed vatican observer notes that popey won't protect Pell, but also that we have an open letter of support for Pell from the Archbishops.

Sounds like the making of another good Exorcist movie to me. ;-)

". and now, the ABC notes that an unnamed vatican observer notes that popey won't protect Pell, but also that we have an open letter of support for Pell from the Archbishops"

The ABC named the observer and had him on camera.

Pell is a nothing but has been conveniently used as the fall guy to save the rest.

Same thing happened in Yeldham case as Carlton mentioned in his column in SMH - "as Arena rose in Parliament to say 'what about Justice Yeldham?', the whole of Phillip St ducked for cover"

Understand?

And understand why Yeldham does not spell check here nor are there any Google Images of him?

And have you seen Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut"?

Yes indeed the Catholic Church in Australia and the pedophile supporting George Pell in particular has a lot to answer for. Pell went as far as claiming he did not know what Ridsdale had been charged with on 27th May 1993 when he accompanied him to the Melbourne Magistrates Court, as his support person, to face the charges. Normally one can commend a persons loyalty, but not Ridsdale , as he used selective memory before the Royal Commission to protect his friend George Pell.

Ridsdale horror story, unfortunately it is far worse than any movie for his victims;
