Yuyutsu, You words ring true. If Pell was a true paedophile, there would have been many examples of abuse. That there is only one given by an unreliable witness that lasted a few minutes does not identify him as a paedophile. There were others in the Catholic Church that should get outing with real attention; but the mob here they only want to crucify one who has been cleared of criminal action.

There's also the case of former Melbourne Principal,
Malka Leifer who's accused of sexually abusing her
female students. She's fighting extradition to
Australia from Israel. She escaped to Israel and
despite more than 50 court hearings she has not
been extradited back to Australia.

The former headmaster of the Adass Jewish School
faces 74 counts of sexual assault in Victoria.

Will justice prevail in this case?

The victims hope so. And they're not giving up the
pursuit.

Dear Foxy,

When Josephus takes me to court for defamation and I have mhaze as my barrister and I am dressed for the occasion and I have all the media attention I can muster and I have the weight of non-Catholic opinion behind me I am going to call upon Pell as my principal witness.

PS ....... and the jury is stacked with Protestants.

"Pell won on a legal technicality."

That's completely true if being not guilty is a legal technicality.

"The son died of an accidental heroin overdose in
2014, aged 30. He never spoke to his parents about
being abused."

Utterly wrong. His mother specifically asked him about it and he specifically said that he hadn't been abused by Pell or anyone else for that matter.
There are lots of reasons for people to turn to drugs. Unless you're prepared to argue that all druggies are catholic victims, you have to acknowledge that there can be any number of causes for boy 2 to become addicted. Rotten home life springs to mind. They wouldn't be the first parents to try to transfer their own failings to others. Trying to make a money from your own kids death doesn't fill one with confidence.

" I look forward to having this brought out in the open"

Yes, as I said, those of a certain predilection are desperate that Pell be punished irrespective of his actions. And they'll continue to fantasise about that.

Its interesting to go back and look at the thread that followed the Court of Appeals verdict....

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=8906&page=1

Full of sanctimony about justice having spoken and the need to respect the decision. Those same people are now completely oblivious to the notion the courts have spoken and must be respected. Now its all about how we'll get him next time.
I'll leave you to work out who said what...

"The courts have done their job. They've rendered
their verdict and that's the system of justice
in this country and as the OM stated - that must be
respected."

"Leave it mate. Justice has been served."

"BTW, the forums bush lawyers, paedophile apologists and right wing know all's, certainly have egg on their faces after this outcome."

runner,

You posted saying that you wondered how do I lie
straight in bed.

Well you can stop wondering.
I don't.

My bed is a luxurious electric adjustable bed (a gift
from my husband) giving me complete comfort each and
every night in various positions.

"There is a certain proper and luxurious way of lying
in bed. Confucius, that great artist of life, said -
'never lay straight' in bed, "like a corpse, but always
curled up on one side. ' I believe one of the greatest
pleasures of life is to curl up one's legs in bed."

"The posture of the arms is also very important in order
to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and
mental power."

"I believe the best posture is not lying flat on the bed,
but being upholstered with big soft pillows at an angle
of 30 degrees with either one arm or both arms placed
behind the back of one's head."
