Foxy,

"...complainant known only to the court as "J" came
across as someone who was telling the truth".

Therefore his dead mate was a liar if his parents were telling the truth or the parents were lying for some reason or another.

If it is taken as truth that the dead boy told the truth then that constitutes reasonable doubt.

Is Mise,

The jury unanimously did not find any reasonable doubt.
Neither did the majority of judges. They believed
the evidence presented.

We can argue this ad infinitem - the verdict stands.
Pell has been found to be a guilty child abuser.

We have to respect our legal system.

Foxy,

That being the case then those who lied under oath should be charged with perjury, is there any reason to let them get away with a criminal offence?

Dear mhaze,

You wrote;

“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.”

What an absolute crock.

A church hierarchy that was complicit in and often participated in the widespread buggering and raping of thousands upon thousands of Aussie children was finally exposed and brought to heel by a long overdue Royal Commission and now you want to call them the victims?

My God man have a good look at yourself and the toxic position you are now adopting.

It seems very evident that you would prefer the RC never happened since it gave victims the strength to come forward and tell of their abuse.

You appear to want things to go back to the way they were. Well mate that ain't happening. This discredited lot are getting their just reward and I for one am happy to see the victims receiving some justice at last.

I can't drum up any 'respect' for our legal system after what it has done to Pell. Nor would I want my future in the hands of 12 numpties selected from the electoral roll.

Of course, it could be just Victoria, home of numpties and judges to match. Where the ABC is know as Radio Karachi.

Issy, get out of your red robes, they are not you, and don the Friar Whuck outfit. Your legal jurisprudence is worse than Rumpole's after a long session in Pomeroy's Wine Bar knocking back a bottle or two of 'Chateau Thames Embankment'.

Well said Steele!

Where is you know who, on the previous thread on Pell the good chap seen paedophilia as a form of character building.
