Is Miserable, nothing I say will appease you but yes I did write that
And FULLY expected he would get off
See I do not trust our justice system
I see youths thieving a car get more time behind bars than white collar criminals
Worth mentioning you, by your constant and blind defense of all things Catholic, are part of the problem, not the needed reform that Church desperately needs
I am not about to enter another fruitless debate with you as I have had more intelligent conversations with my two mini Foxys

Foxy, have you not been following this case closely?
There was no evidence presented! All the jury had access to was the victims testimony. And we know this because the press were given access to all witnesses and evidence, except the videotape of the alleged victim.
And he has been convicted of abusing a second boy who denied it!
As much as I hate pedophiles, this case sets a horrific precedent where a person can be convicted of a crime on the say say of a citizen, without any supporting evidence

George is to appeal, or is he?
Story is worth the read
Big Nana with honest respect maybe you should rethink your post?
Evidence heard by jury mentioned in today's judgment, was found to be believable
Mums and dads all over the world, to their eternal shame did not believe their children
Victims suffer when loyalty to this Church comes before justice

Big Nana,

I have been following the case closely.

You need to do more research on the suppression
orders that were in place - and the journalists
who sat in court for months and were not allowed
to report on what was going on.

The facts remain that the courts have done their
job they've rendered their verdict and that as
our PM has stated is the system of justice in
this country and must be respected.

Cardinal Pell was a too convenient victim to pass up for post-Christian, socialist Australia, with its activist judges, : high profile, conservative - a person who refused to alter Christianity to suit a slack society, as the non-conformists have. The elites were out to get him. He didn't stand a chance after courageously returning from Rome when police had nothing at all on him

I hope you are wrong ttbn but suspect you are right.
