Foxy doesn't “understand these personal attacks” on her. Well, there are no 'personal attacks' involved in the acts of other posters responding to her often ludicrous and uninformed comments. So obviously convinced of her own infallibility and superior knowledge of every known subject is Foxy, it is natural for her to think that it is her interlocutors who must be at fault. A large ego can be such a bother if you intend to mingle, online or in real life, with other human beings. At least copping a serve on the internet is far safer and preferable to some of the results we see in real life when differences of opinion occur. On OLO, we can all air our views in comfort and safety. That should be enough for anyone, in this increasingly nasty and violent world.

As a matter of interest in robes 'evidence',the police never inspected the vestments during their investigations, nor did the prosecution show that the vestments could be parted or moved to the side as the complainant had alleged.

According to ttbn it seems that there were no "personal"
attacks involved to my "ludicrous and uninformed"
comments and that apparently - I am so convinced of my own
infallibility (he knows me so well) and my superior
knowledge of every known subject that in his opinion it is
natural for me to think that my "interlocutors" (?) must
be at fault. See I always knew he was a fan!

Wow!

He then goes on to analyse - that it's my large ego
that's a bother for my mingling online or in real life.
Funny, I've never had a problem - most people usually
warm to me.

Anyway folks, we certainly can learn a great deal on this
Forum as you can see. Gotta love posting here! He's being
so nice - but then that's his moniker - ttbn - or try to be
nice. Suits him so beautifully - don't you think?

Now back to the topic...

As far as the sad controversy regarding the Cardinal is
concerned what now needs to be asked is - was the
verdict unreasonable? Did the jury really deliver a verdict
that was not supported by the evidence?

These are questions for the Appeal Court. We can only hope
that the complainant can find some peace and is able to
get on with his life which ever way the Appeal goes.

If the appeal succeeds it sends an incredibly damaging
message to survivors who may be thinking about coming
forward in future cases. If it fails we can only trust that
Cardinal Pell, heading for prison won't be an unwitting
victim of a wounded nation in search of a scapegoat.

Pell should employ this mob of rabid right apologists as his defence team. They are such experts on everything from how he couldn't get his dongger out of his trousers, to the layout of his play room.
I don't care for none of that, all I know is at the here and now, George Pell is a convicted paedophile, and the forum has a bunch of paedophile apologists on board trying to find an out for the Catholic grub. Go for it lads!

Hi Foxy,

Do not be concerned, you do in fact offer the voice of reason on this. The apologists will attack you for doing that because through your presentation of the truth, not their concocted nonsense, you show them up for what they are, a paedophiles apologists fan club.

Often these Catholic paedophiles felt so in control that they would commit their vile act in the present of 30 others. One example, and I was in a class of 12 year old boys in 1965, but not a victim. A Catholic teaching "Brother", would on some pretext send a boy to the back of the room, his victim. After a while he would order the class to do written work, heads down, eyes to the front. Then he would proceed to the back of the class, where he would then fondle the boy with one hand, whilst masturbating himself with the other. How do I know this, the victim would tell a mate later what took place in the class room. What eventually happened was this brother became so "hot" for even the Catholics, a parent, not a victims parents, but a mates, complained to the head, that they moved the predictor to another school, where he would have carried on his vile deeds. The Lads will say I made this story up for dramatic effect, I don't care if they do. I was going to give my mates real name here, but thought better of it. He died of a drug overdose in the early 1970's, aged 20. Did the paedophile brother cause his life to spin out of control, only to see him die at an early age, I can't say, but it didn't help that's for sure.

The stories of Catholic paedophiles are as varied as the number of paedophiles themselves, nothing is beyond what they can do, and are still doing today in more than half of the Catholic world. I personally know of four "brothers" who were paedophiles, and none as far as I know ever paid for their crimes.

Give it a rest, Paul. If the appeal is dismissed you can indulge your self-righteousness to your heart's content. If it is upheld you can pretend the trial never happened.
