I’m confused as to why they need until Wednesday to make a decision!

Tidy up the loose ends.

The church no longer has the moral authority to act as a believable or effective barrier to government control.

Yep.

The bloody church can't even act as a moral authority for it's clergy. They have a don't rock the boat culture, they believe in perception and self interest nothing else.

The church's 3 pillars of morality-

The 1905 Aboriginal Act in WA was law.

Yes and if there is support for law to be changed then laws get changed.

Yes and if there is support for law to be changed then laws get changed.

By point is, that law may or may not moral.

 

[Crankyhawk]

By point is, that law may or may not moral.

Moral is too subjective.
Otherwise people could claim things to be moral that others find abhorrent (see my hypothetical about white supremacists)
And there is a process to influence the law.
As far as I know there no way to influence the RC church (substitute islam, or other religion of choice) because they go back to invoking their “divine authority “ bullshit.

She may be a very nice person but there's is a certain amount of discontent at her taking on a high profile appeal knowing she was off to Europe for 6 weeks.

It brings the industry into disrepute.

Lol
What a unpleasant drip of a human you are.

 

[Sentinel]

Appeal dismissed.

[Chicago1]

Bloody excellent.

 

[A Cut Above]

Enjoy rotting in gaol Pell you slimy piece of shit!

Appeal dismissed 2 to 1, with Mark Weinberg dissenting.

Justice upheld, hopefully those trying to excuse the offences of this monster finally accept the truth.

[skilts]

Simply splendid, if a little surprising.

As Denis Pagan told the players just before they ran out for the 1996 Grand Final, the arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

Oh I am keen to read/hear Bolta's take now.

"Let's burn down the court to free a paedo coz ... culture war"

Cry me a river defender of Pedo’s / George Pell is a convicted Pedo - his legacy is that of a sick pervert who used the Church and it’s blind sheep for his own use - wake up

Richmond relieved the old nonce didn't get off and demand his spot at the club back.

We'll just pretend that two former Liberal PMs didn't write him references and that the convict isn't a grandee of Australian conservatism.

Hearing Justice Anne Ferguson speak about the victim - I can't imagine how brave that poor bloke must have been to take on the Catholic Church and one of its most senior members. Sounds like he did an incredible job in his testimony.

Now turn him dog with the promise of a few years off and get him to dish the dirt.
