Cardinal Pell will live at the Good Shepherd Seminary
in the Sydney suburb of Homebush.

The word Seminary comes from the Latin word "seminarium"
meaning "seed plot."

The Seminary of the Good Shepherd, according to the web,
is a place to prepare young men to be priests.

We're told that the seminary is a seed-plot where the
ideals of priestly ministry are nurtured.

Time spent at the Good Shepherd is described as an
"opportune time" of intense formation, not just philosophical
and theological study, but in human virtues, social graces
and spiritual values.

The seminary brings young men into the world of the Church -
rich in human and spiritual tradition.

" I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays
down his life for his sheep." (John 10,11).

Fr. Danny Meagher is the Rector, a long time supporter and
friend of Cardinal Pell.

The Cardinal should feel very much at home.

There are quite a few boys schools within close range
of the Seminary. St Patrick's College is an independent
Catholic single-sex primary and secondary day school for boys
within walking distance. Perhaps they will provide altar boys
and choir boys for the seminary?

issue. My apologies.

Dear Foxy,

I hope you are not implying what I think you are implying.

Dear Foxy,

Indeed.

One would have thought Pell might have been more comfortable in his old alma mater where he was part of the alumni and later rector.

"Corpus Christi turned out scores of child abusers over its history. In the worst year, the infamous Gerald Ridsdale’s graduation class of 1961, five out of 18 priests - more than a quarter - were ultimately convicted or accused of committing offences. The others were Kelvin Sharkey, Philip Green, Barry Whelan and Wilfred Baker."

I think everything will be fine as long as social distancing rules are enforced. As the Chaser have put it so succinctly;

"The High Court has overturned the guilty verdict against George Pell, but experts are still advising that children stay at least 1.5 metres away from the Catholic Cardinal.

The warning came after the seven judges on the High Court found themselves to be better judges of the testimony of the victim they didn’t hear than the 12 jurors on the original case.

Experts say that the only way to deal with the outbreak of George Pell into the community is by social distancing from the disgraced Cardinal.

While 1.5m is the minimum recommended distance, many experts said 1.5km is probably a better idea."
