The County [Kangaroo] Court of Victoria released the video of an interrogation Victorian police conducted with Cardinal George Pell in Rome on October 19, 2016. The video [in English] is a must see.
During the interrogation, Pell is confronted with allegations of having exposed himself and forced his accuser's head against his private parts after Sunday Mass in Melbourne Cathedral while still wearing full liturgical vestments.
Pell asks the policeman several times whether the "abuse" was claimed to have happened in the cathedral's sacristy after Sunday Mass. The policeman confirmed. Pell replies that this is "good" for him as it makes the story "fantastic" and "impossible".
He goes on assessing the claims as “disgraceful rubbish”, “madness”, “completely false”, “deranged falsehood”, and “garbage”.
After every Sunday Mass he met the faithful at the cathedral's entrance, he explains and asks the police to talk to the master of ceremonies, the sacristan, other priests and altar servers who …More

The rot of the church will ultimately be rooted out. The church militant just needs to grow a back bone and attack and remove these serpents with the church...

Pell was made an example of so that others don't expose the rot in the Church.

@aderito I assume you mean we should pray that the appellant court will find the guilty verdict to be 'unsafe'. If this indeed this be the decision, then one of the judges options could be that the 'unsafe verdict' of guilty be quashed. However, they might order a new trial [highly unlikely] or they might uphold the original verdict. The question in my mind is- What did the jury hear [recall part …More

However, they might order a new trial [highly unlikely] or they might uphold the original verdict. The question in my mind is- What did the jury hear [recall part of the trial was in camera and a gag order put on all the media] - that convinced them that Cdl. Pell was guilty???

alex j, as I understand it there was a gag on the media because they wanted to run another trial against pell - the second was scheduled to run in march but is not going ahead. As far as I understand it, the first trial was effectively held in secret but if anyone knew where it was being held they could be present as an observer. Peter Westmore was there for the whole trial. Father Brennan was there …More

alex j, the witness against pell did not even give evidence at the trial. (An earlier trial with a hung jruy was abandoned). This seems to me to be unusual. It is also odd that no one knows who the witness is - is it impossible to produce him to talk to the media because his story is fake and would be exposed at once?

what a bunch of "Hogwash" this is pure inventions of whoever wants to destroy this priest .. we had here in our parish a priest that was giving confessions in an open room with big clear glass windows .. three girls accused the priest of touching them and fondling them .. this was even brought to court and the girls changed there stories more than once ... the priest was stop from giving any sacraments and force to resign ... one of the girls feeling guilty confessed that it was all a fabrication to get rid of that pious priest ....
that scandalous lie destroy the priest's life who went to live a secluded life and also destroy the lives of the three girls that are so unstable and live a very derange life since than ...
than we have a priest that is living a homosexual life and stealing from the people but because he speaks liberated language and not according to the Scriptures, well that one
is still very active and the bishop just leave him feeding the parishioners false doctrines ...
It's a very confusing world ... What is GOOD is BAD, and What is BAD is GOOD ..
but who is right - right ..?? "I am the Way, the Life and the TRUTH" says the Lord ...

In 1996 Pell refused Communion to a gay crowd that disrupted a Mass.

Cardinal Pell can use this false accusation against him as a form of mortification to atone for the sins of the church!!!! He can bypass purgatory if he place his cards right. Using bad situations and offering them up to God is very powerful for reparation and atonement of sins!!!!

Easier said than done. You and I are not sitting in cell feeling abandon. I recall an Irish lad many years ago who found himself in a cell; following a drinking bout to the point of stupor, and when bailed out by his best friend exclaimed, ''Thank God Mick. You just beat the tears!
