The Australian Disgrace | George Weigel

There will be much more to be said in the weeks and months ahead about the rejection of Cardinal George Pell’s appeal of his conviction for “historic sexual abuse …

'Does.' Is he himself credible or not? And why would he not testify at trial if he's the innocent martyr?

What do these videos tell you about Pell's credibility?
BrotherBeowulf
That's he's lying through his teeth. "Pell's Tells," I call them. Look at his remarks to the Foster family! Their child's blood (actually two children, plus innumerable others raped by priests Pell protected, either moving them himself or knowing of same) is on his hands; and he knows it; and he doesn't give a darn.
I find his friendship with and defense of Ridsdale Sr. the Molester highly revealing …More

I find his friendship with and defense of Ridsdale Sr. the Molester highly revealing as well.

You sound pretty convinced of what you know from these videos. Do you suppose there is relevant, even crucial, information outside of these videos regarding the guilt you assign to Cardinal Pell?
BrotherBeowulf
Yes. The dozens of not hundreds of kids raped by pederasts on Pell’s watch.
Further. A judge, jury and appellate panel of judges who—unlike us and the talking heads like Der Weigel—who actually heard all the witnesses including this for Pell. They and only they weighed the credibility—and that of Pell’s were deemed unconvincing.More

What is your opinion of the reflections of the dissenting judge?
BrotherBeowulf
J—Thank you for asking. Bottom line two years f three upheld the jury verdict. The dissent lights in to the victim, but like Weigel does not think to apply the same scrutiny to the defense witnesses. Pell’s Shills as I call them.
I haven’t read the entire dissent so cannot say more. I’ll note the irony of Pell shipping out to the Paedophile prison, as a prominent Australian columnist noted, “…More

I haven’t read the entire dissent so cannot say more. I’ll note the irony of Pell shipping out to the Paedophile prison, as a prominent Australian columnist noted, “where Pell will know so many of the priests and brothers there.”

How many of them were beneficiaries of his protection, largesse and cover as auxiliary bishop, bishop and Cardinal-Archbishop of Australia, not to
mention as parish priest shielding Fr. Gerald Ridsdale in Ballarat, Ground Zero of the Pederasty Crisis in the Catholic Church in Australia.

Pell is to be blunt a traitor to his flock, his church and his Lord, our Lord Jesus Christ. There tragically is blood on his hands.

Our Lady of Fatima pray for us.
