Shame! Cardinal Pell Charged With Trumped Up "Sexual Offences"

Cardinal George Pell, the Prefect of the Vatican's Secretariat for the Economy, has been charged with trumped up "sexual offences" on Thursday in Melbourne, the capital of the Australian state Victoria. Pell announced he would “return to Australia, as soon as possible, to clear his name”. For years, Pell has been exposed to bogus accusations. He is hated by the commercial media for his strong Catholic leadership.

The Australian columnist Angela Shanahan wrote in early June that because of the media witch-hunt, Cardinal Pell "can never get a fair trial". One of the leading Pell-haters is Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton.

How do we know they are trumped up charges? Let the cardinal have his day in court. God knows that many in the Church have protected priest abusers or abused innocent children in the past and even now
