Catastrophic The End of Cardinal Pell


Edit: without looking at the substance of these accusations, we assume that they're flimsy enough to destroy a conservative Cardinal from Australia. We've never really liked him, but he'd been a friend of tradition and has the enmity of the Pope, and that's pretty good...

SYDNEY (AP) -- Australian police charged a top Vatican cardinal on Thursday with multiple counts of historical sexual assault offenses, a stunning decision certain to rock the highest levels of the Holy See.

Cardinal George Pell, Pope Francis' chief financial adviser and Australia's most senior Catholic, is the highest-ranking Vatican official to ever be charged in the church's long-running sexual abuse scandal. Pell said he would return to Australia to fight the charges.

Victoria state Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said police have summonsed Pell to appear in an Australian court to face multiple charges of "historical sexual assault offenses," meaning offenses that generally occurred some time ago. Patton said there are multiple complainants against Pell, but gave no other details on the allegations against the cardinal. Pell was ordered to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 18.

It is extremely irritating the Victorian Police (and who would know ultimately who is behind this relentless pursuit) have gone after Cardinal Pell and we have reached this point. Pell is an iconic figurehead and this is 90% of what this chase is all about.

Is an engraved image of the head of the Church of England on the Australian charging documents?

Ordained in 1966 which means he is definitely a valid priest. Hope these allegations prov unfounded.

Bastards. Founded or unfounded. Selective prosecution and ruination of character are the tools of this satanic junta. If he is guilty, let him hang. If not, judgement day won't be uncomfortable enough for his destroyers, always praying they instead repent.

Charges come from allegations put forth by two men in their 40s. Events occurred in the late 70s supposedly at a swimming pool. The children would have been 8-10 years old.----The specific charges are that Pell as a young priest "fondled" the children through their swimming trunks. I do not believe it. Pedophilia is a progressive disease and there would have been subsequent events.

The Yahudi, Libero Milone, Vatican Bank auditor was pushed out by the tenacious and hardworking Cardinal Pell as he tried to clean up the tarnished Vatican Bank. One week revenge! The Yahudis wasted no time.
They infiltrate and manuever, sooner or later the Vatican Bank will succumb. God Bless Cardinal Pell.
Thankyou Cardinal Pell for your diligence on behalf of the Church.

No way to prove one way or another is some 'inappropriate touching' occurred 40 years ago in a swimming pool. I doubt it. Calumny against a cleric is serious mortal sin but few believe in sin any more. And some powers that be must be dancing to have this happen to C. Pell.

I believe it after watching an interview with an adult during that time who threw George out of a surf club bathroom when he caught him full frontal with 3 little boys.

Maybe Pel got a grip on his pedophilia after the 70's, but after watching all the interviews----I believe he is VERY LIKELY guilty of the specific crimes of which he is accused.
