The media have already condemned him by inuendo and he is to appear before a Court with both Judge and Jury. Already there have been those who have written even in my local press, that it will be almost impossible to find an unbiased jury here in Australia. I believe this to be true. Cardinal Pell has been hounded for years by false accusers. Actually, he was the very first bishop who ever did anything about child abuse by members of the clergy.JARayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138004129894177863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-27426147923872263462017-12-20T21:35:24.240+00:002017-12-20T21:35:24.240+00:00Your intention is clear now in your comment above,...Your intention is clear now in your comment above, Father, but, respectfully, I think the text of your blog post would avoid misinterpretation if you amended it to "abusers such as Marcel Maciel and those like Cardinal Daneels who defend abusers".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-39772618153710496452017-12-20T21:32:14.844+00:002017-12-20T21:32:14.844+00:00When well the Catholic Church stand up and take re...When well the Catholic Church stand up and take responsibility for the actions of the Cardinals and Bishops who have not done the right thing,And ask the Lord for Mercy from the Sins of the few.

It seems that the idea of reform held by the Papacy is to appoint someone to deal with the problem and then to fail to back them up when the going gets rough. The resignations of Saunders and Collins should never have been allowed.Nicolas Bellordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063019108964247676noreply@blogger.com
