The Law Cardinal Pell

[Happy Mastenator]

Breaking news that Cardinal Pell has been charged by the police, not clear at moment on what the charges are (i saw breaking news on work tv), but no doubt related to child sex offences, probably the covering up of said offences.

Third highest ranking catholic. Will he ever come back to Aus to face the music?

EDIT: Oh my, looks like actual sexual offences himself, not covering up.

In a media conference this morning in Melbourne, Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton confirmed Cardinal Pell had been charged with “with historical sexual assault offences” with “multiple complainants”.
He has been charged on summons to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 18 for a filing hearing.
“The charges were today served on Cardinal Pell’s legal representatives in Melbourne and they have been lodged also at the Melbourne Magistrates Court. Cardinal Pell is facing multiple charges in respect of historic sexual offences, “ Mr Patton said.

The guy is a piece of s**t. Hope he goes to jail because we definitely know he won't lose his Catholic employment.

Odds on him ever leaving the Vatican and coming back to fight these charges? I think someone is going to be claiming serious health issues very very soon.

I'd say there's more chance of thee, and me opening the bowling at the Gabba in the first Test than Pell ever answering these charges.

Hope he comes back and appears in court.

Hope he comes back and appears in court.

Dont think he will. Didnt come back for an inquiry about this s**t which ruined hundreds of lives. I dont think hes shown a spine before. More then happy to be proven wrong

So you're saying there's a chance?

Who has done more damage to Australia citizens, Muslim extremists or Catholic Priests?

I think it's safe to say the Priests have destroyed far more lives....

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

How long before the movie 'Let's Get Pell' is made?

 

[Thrawn]

Unless Pope Francis exorcises him from the Vatican, he ain't going anywhere.

 

[Bet on Blue]

A pedo Catholic priest?! Whatever next? A cop eating a doughnut??

 

[Gough]

I wonder what the Libs think of the Victorian legal system now?

Hey that CBA expires in a couple of days...

Noow you've done it!

No chance VicPol would have pursued this unless they had a rock solid case. As others have mentioned there is almost zero possibility of him showing up to ever face them

Its a shame there isn't a hell for this campaigner to go to

How much is Christopher Skase's wheelchair and breathing apparatus going for on eBay? Just asking for a Cardinal... I mean, friend of mine.

Guess it's time for this one again..

The two Georges, Pell and Brandis seem to have little influence over our Victoria Police.

Miranda Devine in a fit of rage has lost her senses and made the perpetrators the victims with a bizarre hashtag #HuntingCatholics. Bolt and Abbott are probably curled up in the foetal position.

Worth quoting just for the laughs.

They only need a reasonable case, and if it has political clout and the right hands steering it, then they don't even need that.

A lot of crap gets weeded out at committals.

This would be interesting to see. If the new pope is actually serious about reform and clearing the church of this stain.

She spelled #huntingcriminals wrong?

That's gotta be the most bizzare response I've ever seen. Calling it a publicity stunt. Really living in an alternative reality.

Not all priests? Or does that bullshit only apply to Mussies?

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

I can't imagine he will ever return to face charges.
