It was the root of all evil kinda thing you did, Phil. That's why I made a point. Sure this thread is about Pell and the Catholic church but you went above and beyond in describing the evils of Catholicism.. You made it more than a case of dirty priests, you labelled a whole religion and the people that subscribe to it. I hope you can see what I'm saying.

Bullshit....Look at what I wrote....Where have I levelled any accusations against the people who subscribe to Catholicism mate....I condemned the faith not the faithful!!!

Quote:

When a priest rapes a child does anyone think they really believe in God???

When a church covers up child sexual abuse they have lost all credibility and use religion to hide behind!!!

Pell is part of an organisation that is a criminal cartel....The Catholic Church is evil incarnate and Pell is it's pin up paedophile!!!

Huh

Such evil deeds could religion prompt.

You are making up crap to justify your apparent belief that I am not allowed to criticise Catholicism without criticising other religions (Islam) which I did....Now you are accusing me of labelling all Catholics what ever that means....I hope you can see what I'm saying???

Roll Eyes

You're right, I apologise.

Thank's Set....In all honesty I think we actually agree with each other on this topic???

Huh

A pleasing decision. Cool

Pell to serve out the remainder of his sentence.

Very interesting that the complainant was found by the appeal judges to be not a liar and not a fantasist.

Also ... very interesting and handy decision that video link presence of the jury panel was equal to physical presence.

It would have opened a massive can of worms if it had been found that actual physical presence is required at an arraignment. Shocked

This may have spilled over into the area of other forms of video link in court cases.

Phew!

I never thought he would be convicted....The jury believed the victims over Pell so go figure....The bloke is finished even if he is released on a technicality???

Huh

Looks like the appeal court judges believed the witness as well....Pell only went to a jury trial because juries are easier to sway with with his queens council bullshit lawyer spin....Good on the judges for upholding the jury decision....Pell deserves everything he gets IMO!!!
