"They [the Appeals Court] were in fact like a third jury."

From the Appeals Court itself..." the task for the appeal court is to decide whether, on the whole of the evidence, it was open to the jury to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was guilty"

Who to believe? Foxy or the court. A tough call.

Milligan claims to be a "devoted" (devout is the word normally used) Catholic, but her ignorance of the names of Catholic prayers and devotions suggests otherwise. Her potted history means nothing, and awards in the media industry are on a par with those that real estate agents hand out to each other. Even people attempting to enter the country illegally are awarded 'honours', quite against the rules, for writing grotty little books nobody will read. And, it is a complete mystery as to how being born in Ireland has any bearing on the woman's truthfulness or ability.

Its almost immaterial what the High Court's decision is in regards to Pell. In Australia, the world has changed.

The so-called progressives have now found a mechanism to wreak revenge on or utterly destroy their political opponents as well as cower organised opposition by targeting their leadership.

A loose alliance of left-wing government legislators, determined prejudiced constabulary and state controlled media have achieved a decade long goal of bringing the church to heel by relentlessly pursuing its leadership. No other church group will dare put up a fight as the anti-Christian agenda is advanced.

It would be totally naive to assume that these loose alliances, (government, police, state media) will not again use their newly discovered powers when next a societal pillar stands in the way of achieving their false utopia. The USA has avoided (for now) this new path through the twin efforts of Trump and Kavanagh but Australia is now embarked on a very different journey.

We will rue the day. Indeed those currently celebrating their victory will come to rue the day because in the end the revolution usually eats its own.

So mhaze, the great conspiracy of the left has seen the conservatives high priest of perversion carted off to the slammer. Is that what you think. I took the time this morning to read the judgement of the Court of Appeal, a meticulous document. Wallah! I could find nothing that I could perceive in my mind as conspiratorial, no "Lets get Pell" or "Death to the conservatives". None of that stuff, just a reasoned and detail explanation as to why the court seen fit to dismiss Pell's appeal.

For those of you who might be interested in the rights or wrongs published in book form, Adolf Hitler wrote a bestseller, long before there were Mickey Mouse awards of the sort a mere reporter like Louise Milligan is reputed to have won to supposedly make her words gospel.

Mein Kampf enjoyed a 10 million copies run during Hitler's lifetime, and it earned him the equivalent of $12 million in royalties. I wonder how the 'loud and shouty' Milligans own words) measure up to that
