GEORGE PELL !!!
With the latest in depth "trials" regarding sexual abuse by Catholic Priests - and in particular the abominations that went on specifically in Ballarat for many many years (and many many other places) - it is suggested that George Pell be brought back/extradited to Australia - from his "safehaven" in Rome - to "face the music" so to speak - to give evidence at this heart and gut-wrenching trial!!!
Media - is saying - if - IF - he is brought back he will face the rest of his life in jail !! Yay Yay Yay! - Couldn't happen to a "nicer' person - (what a sleaze bucket!) .....ok - to be fair - "innocent" until proven "guilty" - YES - SURE - but this extremely extremely "QUESTIONABLE MAN" - has "dodged the bullet" for decades - decades and has a hellova lot to answer for!!!
GEORGE PELL .............. "TIME TO PAY THE PIPER" ???????
The Royal Commission into child abuse has already done enormous service in establishing, and making public, the vast range of abuse in those religious and secular institutions that have responsibility for the care of boys and girls.
These range from schools and orphanages to scouts and sporting bodies. Until recently the evidence brought to the inquiry has been largely from the victims, not from the perpetrators.
This dramatically changed when the former priest Gerald Ridsdale gave evidence, by video link, from his prison. He spoke with eerie composure, sometimes seeming unaware of the evil of his actions over many years. This led the Australian’s Graham Richardson to describe him as ‘a piece of excrement’, a ‘mongrel’ who should burn in hell ‘for all eternity’. It is easy to comprehend Richardson’s abomination but it is also necessary to develop and lay down measures that will in future protect children in institutions from predators. The Royal Commission has already played a significant role in Australian history and historiography. The harder part is still to come.
