Guess there is a new expression in Australian English. 'As innocent as Pell!'

Opinion,

"You noted in your own words that I am a "former Arts Graduand. Yes you are correct: I stopped being a graduand the very day I graduated,"

Well you did learn something, did you look "graduand" up on Google; however that did not stop you from ending a sentence with a comma.

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

You have some very valid suggestions in how
things can be improved.

Barney Zwartz, religious editor of The Age,
2002 - 2013, points out:

" No fair-minded person would want Pell in jail
if he did not commit the crime, or, as the court
found - there is reasonable doubt."

At the same time Zwartz also says that:

"It's hard to claim he's faced an injustice,
at least in the technical sense that he was granted
every opportunity the legal system provides, including
some of the finest barristers and appeals right up
to the High Court. A privilege not granted to many."

Zwartz reminds us that:

"Pell's travails have unfolded before several audiences
who have reacted differently."

"The various views polarised from the start have scarcely shifted.
The wider community settled firmly against Pell after his
testimony to the Royal Commission where he blamed the
demented, the dead and denied any responsibility."

"Nevertheless Pell has had prominent defenders ranging from
Archbishops to former PMs, to columnists like Andrew
Bolt."

However,

We're told that "Despite Pell's criminal conviction
being overturned Pell's legal tests may not yet be over.
Further civilo cases may be brought against the dioceses
of Ballarat and Melbourne and Pell could be a witness to
those cases."

If these battles ensue they will ensure that Pell's
life will not be a peaceful one in his retirement in
Sydney.

Is Mise,

Doh!

does not Pell watch the ABC.

he tried to pay with cash.

and he has been trying to write a book. that should be rivoting.

Opinion,

Is that the best that a former Graduand can do?

You are ignoring your terrible reasoning in thinking that the Catholic community in Rome has any special significance re Pell, if that was not your meaning in the use of the erroneous term "Roman Catholic" is bad English as "universal" cannot be qualified by using an adjective that would diminish it to a non-universal.

Not a good reflection on one so well educated as yourself.
