+++Pell’s History of Protecting Sex Abusers
Edit: Sciambra is an unfortunate creature who you can’t trust in general, but he at least strives for objectivity. His interview with John Lamont at Church Militant is particularly useful, despite his occasional and unnecessary autobiographical interjections. People think that because they’re “victims” that they have authority.
John Lamont is unusual, since he works at Church Militant and yet accuses the pope of being a heretic. What’s going on there? Unfortunately, he doesn’t talk about Pell’s other credible accusers of lurking around the pools, and doesn’t seem to think there’s a lot of evidence for Pell himself being an abuser. I don’t agree there.
Neither is Pell is a friend of tradition, according to Lamont (Pell writes an encomium on Chardin of all things) nor is he anything but a mediocre functionary.
Here are the time stamps:
00:00 Sciambra Introduces John Lamont, who works with Church Militant.
Sciambra says positive things about Voris’s showboat apostolate. Positive about CMs attacks on SSPX and FSSP.
2:43 Church Militant is the only one that takes victims’ stories seriously.
3:00 Reviews credentials starting in Canada, then as Gifford Fellow in Scotland. His book, “Defending the Church Against Present Heresies” by Arucca Press which is an attack on Bergoglio’s heresies. Wow!
5:00 hired at Sydney Seminary because he studied under a liberal peritus at Vatican II and got to know Pell.
6:20 Pell has a long history of covering up sex abuse and belongs in jail.
6:35 Discussion of Pell’s alleged exoneration by the Australian Supreme Court and Traditionalist Catholics defense of him.
8:20 Picture of Pell going to court with convicted sex offender, Gerald Ridsdale, which leads Sciambra to dig deeper.
We haven’t heard much about this in the USA.
10:00 John Lamont begins by way of an introduction of the history of the Australian Church .
10:50 Joseph Banks initiated Penal Colony in 1788 in Botany Bay with convicts and their guards. Penal colony till 1850s gold rush.
11:50 Colony was brutal for minor offenders who were slaves till the end of their terms. Protestant dominance is the colony was very cruel for Catholics.
14:00 John Bede Polding, English Benedictine who wanted a chain of monasteries, but was pushed aside by the Jesuits.
15:25 Australia is dominated by Freemasons
15:30 Canberra was planned by occultists. Wow!
16:20 Sciambra intervenes about his secrecy hobby horse.
17:00 The laity depended on the educated clergy for matters secular and spiritual.
18:00 But it’s not a bad thing, “huddling” per se, says Sciambra, but the tendency to keep things in house…. [These people always want to rationalize these things with historicism, aimed at the hierarchal nature of the Church.]
18:50 Pell’s father was a boxer who owned a pub and ran a bookie
20:30 Cardinals and bishops are singled out and Sciambra finds this very interesting.
21:00 Ballarat’s background as a mining time and Pell’s tenure there till 1975. It’s essential to understand Pell.
22:00 Bellarat is notorious. Pell first addressed sex abuse in 1974 by not doing anything about a boy who said he was abused.
23:40 14 credibly accused clergy. 850 children claimed to be abused by Christian Brothers and 30 committed suicide.
24:00 Diocese of Ballarat is a criminal organization.
24:40 Pell was a man of ambition. So he was committed to getting ahead in the organization he belonged. Use your knowledge to get ahead.
25:50 Ridsdale Royal Commission determines Pell knew about the abuse. Kerns asks Pell about Ridsdale, which Pell denies and is not found credible by Commission
26:00 Ridsdale is the worst and most sadistic abuser in Australian Church. Pell accompanied him.
28:15 Appears in court with Ridsdale to send a message. Do what I want and I’ll protect you.
30:00 Pell knew pedos were running it or had the veto, so he played that game.
30:40 Pell admits he knew about it when he sent Ridsdale to treatment in the US. Sciambra discusses Farrel who claimed he didn’t know about McCarrick. (He takes the time to take a catty shot at traditionalists)
33:10 Ridsdale’s nephew, David Ridsdale approached Pell
33:30 John Walsh accused of abuse by John Walsh, nothing happens so Pell promotes him. He’s easier to control. Ridsdale’s nephew, David, claims he was offered money. Walsh is compelled by Pell to testify, with no effect, and then causes his victim John Walsh to speak out. Gives insight on the Royal Commission being good on the Catholic Church.
36:30 Explains the Royal Commission which documents are available on line.
37:30 Explains Wollongong and mayor Frank Arkell who was bludgeoned to death by a Satanist. He and the local police and clergy were in on preying on children. https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/4095493/the-wollongong-leader-that-fell-prey-to-a-twisted-killer/
39:00 Walsh quits under duress. (After being told by Pell to lie)
39:30 Sciambra interrupts to quote Pell’s defense of appearing in public with Ridsdale. Compares it to Bergoglio’s hypocritical lies, and turns to discuss how Bishops are chosen. Pell shouldn’t have risen after his 1993 hearing at the Royal Commission, but he gets promoted. Talks about the “tone deafness” of the people deciding who gets promoted.
42:00 Talks about “Precious Little” Bishop Little who protected pedos himself.
43:00 Sciambra talks about the gravity of Ridsdale’s crimes. Talks about the “those were the times” defense people like to use, as well as an unfortunate comparison to Nuremberg.
45:50 Melbourne Response, an alleged independent commissioner who is a representative of the Church to offer a $50k payoff and NDA.
47:40 Canon which demands that clergy should be punished.
48:50 Sciambra cites from Melbourne Response that victims have the right to approach the civil authority but claims will be “strenuously defended.”
50:04 Case of John Ellis who is an attorney and victim by Adrian Duggan, who gets sued by the Church when the court decides the Catholic Church can’t be sued and they go after him to recover their legal costs of $1.5 million.
53:30 Pattern with Pell where he is brutal to abuse victims. He denies knowing about Ellis to Royal Commission, which found Pell as not credible.
58:10 Pell’s arrogance and absence of remorse.
1:01 What is the purpose of the Melbourne Response?
1:02 Vatican Bank conspiracy.
(Pell has some good traits, not completely devoid of humanity, like Pope)
1:03:30 Pell was the kingmaker of the Australian Church under JPII. Not men of principle, but those who would obey him.
1:04:20 Pell is viewed favorably by traditionalists and Neocons.
1:06 Pell is not a traditionalist, but permits them. FSSP parish dinner, a meeting on the Latin Mass which he thought was a fundraiser with lots of old people and he saw all the young people and threw away his prepared speech filled with erudite discussion on the Mass and talked about how horrible the old Mass was.
1:07:18 Old Irish Gangster
1:07:50 Traditionalists want scraps
1:08:25 Why not Vigano instead of Pell?
1:09 Fessio publishing Pell’s prison journals to raise money to cover his expenses. [Ignatius Press sucks]
1:11 The jury didn’t care about the evidence, they just saw all the dirt on Pell in addition to that.
1:12 Pell is the only Cardinal to go to prison, even though he deserved to go to prison for the things he DID do.
1:13:20 Quote from Pell saying he didn’t have much interest in the victims stories and suffering. People gasped at that during the hearing. Thug and sociopath coming out…
1:17 Picture of Saint Patrick’s Seminary with Pell and Archbishop Cordileone. He’s like a boxer who won’t go down, he’s been to jail and he’s back out swinging.
1:19 David O’Hearn now convicted of dozens of offenses. Things are so bad in Australia… Bishop Heather was caught shredding documents. Exercising sex Ed program, Bishop Vincent Long.
Caught Heather coming out of a night club which led to Heather retiring, who still appears at Australian Bishops’s Conferences.
1:22 Celeste Patterson, it’s like Dame Edna Experience skit
1:23 if Pell could have gotten to the top by burning pedos at the stake, he would have done that.
1:23:10 priests who tried to do the right thing and got “squashed”.
1:24:40 System is broken
1:24:50 Benedictine monastic system as an alternative to keep the bad ones out.
1:26 Sciambra doesn’t like top-down model. [Lame]
1:27 How do you keep your faith? Fabulous Rod Dreher couldn’t!
1:28 He plugs his book, Divine Faith. About the rational basis for the Catholic Faith
1:30:30 Religious Education Meeting in LA. They’re just corrupt mediocrities.
1:31:02 there is a narrative that’s been spun about Pell. Do your reading, Catholics!
1:32:30 Pell should have lain low for the victims he trashed. Why didn’t he go to the beach house he inherited from his mother? He built a luxurious palace for himself in Rome. Leopard can’t change its spots. I guess he and his supporters want to do their victory March.
1:34:10 Pell was accused falsely. Thinks that Pell himself wasn’t an abuser.

Australian Military Bishop Cleared of Charges
[ABC] The former head of the Australian Defence Force's Catholic diocese is yet to decide if he will resume his role in the military, after being cleared of child sex allegations.
Bishop Max Davis was on trial last week charged with six counts of being grossly indecent with boys at St Benedict's College in New Norcia between 1969 and 1972.
A jury found the 70-year-old not guilty on all charges, after about four hours of deliberation.

Cowardly Archbishop Endorses Gender Ideology
[Tablet] Archbishop Denis Hart of Melbourne has urged Catholic schools to be sensitive and respectful to students who wish to bring a same-sex date to school formal events.
The Age newspaper in Melbourne reported on 22 January about a previously unreported case at the oldest girls’ secondary college in Victoria, the Academy of Mary Immaculate in Fitzroy, where a student started an online petition after she was told by the co-ordinator for Year 12 (the final year of secondary school) that she couldn't bring a female partner to the school formal.
In response to questions from the paper, Archbishop Hart said: "These are quite often emotional situations and it's very important that we always have respect for the dignity of the human being involved.

Archbishop Bans Pro-Life Group From Bulletin But Deeply Concerned About Climate Change
![]() |
| The Church of Climatology |
Despite the endorsement from his brother Bishops, the Archbishop is quick to support concerns about the environment and "illegal immigrants", much like other Old Liberal American counterparts, he is placing his spiritual capital behind Leftist causes. As we learned from a local friend in Adellaide complete with "Australian Religious Response to Climate Change":
You will also notice that the same letter promotes the "Walk or Ride to Worship" a program to combat "climate change" supported by ARRCC "Australian Religious Response to Climate Change" an inter-religious group which not only supports a scientifically dubious hypothesis of anthropogenic climate change but also supports a number of extremist policies that are at odds with the economic interests and job security of many Catholics like:
- phasing out coal exports,
- reducing our dependence and phasing out livestock farming,
- supporting carbon dioxide taxes
- shutting down coal fired power stations, a move that would greatly increase electricity costs for all Australians.
Check out the ARRCC's policies here:

Ad Features Blasphemous Dipping Host into Sauce
(Melbourne) With a blasphemous ad, an Australian food distrubutor is advertizing its dipping sauce. The advertisement shows a Bishop who is giving Communion. A communicant takes the Host half in her mouth, then pulls out a jar of sauce and dunks the Host in, in order to make it "more tasty". The sacrilegious tastelessness makes clear the general acceptance in secular circles, that in contrast to other religions like Judaism and Islam, Christianity can be insulted with impunity.
The evil ad was eventually pulled.
THE controversial online ad showing a sacramental wafer being dipped into a jar of yeast spread during a Catholic mass has been withdrawn days after its release.
The ad was produced to promote the AussieMite spread and had caused widespread anger among Catholics. At the time, its creator, Mick Hunter from Sydney agency Grown-Ups, said the ad was "probably a bit sacrilegious" and made in the hope of going "a bit viral". But in a statement released through its Facebook page, AussieMite said it never intended to cause offence.
"We sincerely apologise for any offence caused. It was never the intention to do so, but we recognise that for some it did.
"We have listened to your comments and removed any and all instances of the campaign from our social media channels. Furthermore, we have requested for the ad to be removed from all other channels.
"We are a small family-owned company looking to establish ourselves and a product we believe in and love.
"We sincerely hope that this will not dissuade you from buying AussieMite in the future."
AussieMite founder Roger Ramsey said he had been shocked by the reaction. He said a death threat had been left on the company's telephone message bank but he had not taken it seriously. "I didn't think there would be such an emotional reaction," he said. "It was only intended to be tongue in cheek and a bit of fun. "
Our intentions have always been to do good not create division. Our values our concerned with the health and well-being of the consumer."
Time heals all wounds. The positive thing is that by and large the vast majority of the Catholic and other Christian communities have embraced the apology and are prepared to move on."
Apparently, there was also a death threat from one of the several million Catholics who lives in Australia. We probably don't have to imagine how many there would have been had Jewish or Islamic sensibilities been offended.

Australian Courts Open up the Flood Gates for Sex-Abuse Claims
![]() |
| In the spotlight ... The commission will investigate all institutions and was sparked by allegations of abuse and cover-up by the Catholic Church in the Hunter Valley. Photo: AFP |
Edit: A friend just sent this in the e-mail. Let's hear it for objectivity in reporting by Austrialia's gloating and malignant Syndney Morning Herald as it heralds what will be a colossal and unjust blow against the Church in Australia. Listening to some of the Australian bloggers, they seem absolutely demoralized. These demonic media campaigns are very effective at causing despair in some circles. We hope those effected by them do not give up hope.
Remember, priestly abuse is actually rare and the ones who are largely responsible for it (but also get away with it) are Leftists.
We've also noticed the unequal treatment in the media. The anti-Catholic media bosses don't give as much time to the protestant churches, Sesame Street, Jewish rabbis or atheistic university professors.
[Alleged] VICTIMS of sexual abuse would be able to sue the Catholic Church for compensation as a result of the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Child Sexual Abuse, legal experts say.
And any victim of sexual abuse would be able to give evidence, if they wished. A discussion paper released late on Monday by the commission secretariat says the commission's findings ''may extend to ensuring that there are no obstacles to the making of claims and that there is sufficient support for victims of abuse in pursuing those claims''.Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/national/victims-to-be-able-to-sue-church-20121119-29mdn.html#ixzz2CpIF4flu

Sacked Australian Bishop Replaced
Edit: Is it open season on the dinosaur set stuck in the 60, following old scripts that no one is moved by any longer? His successor may not be much better.
[The Australian]Link to Australian...
THE Pope last night announced the appointment of a NSW priest as Bishop of Toowoomba, replacing Bishop Bill Morris, who was effectively sacked last year.
The new bishop will be Monsignor Robert McGuckin, 68, a senior priest of the Diocese of Parramatta, where he is Episcopal Vicar for Health and Social Welfare.
He is also a part-time lecturer in the School of Law at the University of Notre Dame and has degrees in theology and church law.
After leaving school he worked in banking for several years before studying for the priesthood and being ordained in 1973.

Cardinal Pell Joins the Chorus of Apologizers: Do Penance!
Penance should be painful, especially for Bishops who've fallen down in their responsibilities as Cardinal Pell has. Check out the scene of the King of England being whipped in public as penance for his wickedness @2:60. Bishops should consider something like this both for themselves and their subordinates, because many people simply don't believe the apologies for past Crusades and all that:
[The Syndey Morning Herald] AUSTRALIA'S leading Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, has decided to throw his weight behind the historic apology to victims of sexual abuse issued at the weekend by Archbishop Denis Hart of Melbourne.
In a statement yesterday Cardinal Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, said he ''wholeheartedly endorsed'' Archbishop Hart's letter of apology which went to 219 parishes in Victoria, saying the letter ''speaks for me, too''.
In the letter Archbishop Hart spoke of a ''crisis of faith'' and acknowledged that victims of clergy abuse had been betrayed, while the church had not always responded properly.

Why Australia (and Canada too) is better off with a Monarchy
"Whereas the People of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established."

By Charles Coulombe
The character of Kings is sacred: their persons are inviolable; they are the anointed of the Lord, if not with sacred oil, at least by virtue of their office. Their power is broad - based upon the Will of God, and not on the shifting sands of the people's Will ... They will be spoken of with becoming reverence, instead of being in public estimation fitting butts for all foul tongues. It becomes a sacrilege to violate their persons, and every indignity offered to them in word or act, becomes an indignity offered to God Himself. It is this view of Kingly rule that alone can keep alive in a scoffing and licentious age the spirit of ancient loyalty, that spirit begotten of faith, combining in itself obedience, reverence, and love for the majesty of Kings which was at once a bond of social union, an incentive to noble daring, and a salt to purify the heart from its grosser tendencies, preserving it from all that is mean, selfish, and contemptible. (P J Joyce, John Healy, pp 68-69).
