Great! How can this not have an impact on the church & all the other pedos that thought they were safe.

He went to jail today. Now the conservatives in the Church are all whining that it must be a set up. But the way he handled the sexual abuse allegations against other perps clearly shows that he didn't give a shit about victims, and he covered crimes up.
This isn't about conservative or globalist clergy - in both factions many pedos are operating.

Hasn't this kind of sick disgusting shit become the 'norm ' for Catholic officials ? Seems to me to be a bastiion of pedo priestclass.

But was he actually guilty???
1 claimant who was one of the "choir boys" in question,the other boy he claims was also made to suck dick is nowdead, and always maintained he wasn't touched. No other evidence for the accuser.
The accused had multiple witnesses confirm he was never alone.
George Pell has been a thorn in this pope's side due for years to his conservative catholic stance. He is one of the highest ranking conservative cardinals, and he also highlighted the vatican's mismanagement of funds and vatican property last year.

Oh how unfortunate. What kind of "suicide" was it?
I bet he did.
He's been wrapped up in the sex scandal shit for decades.
The Catholic Church has been broken for a long long time.
Pell isn't some fucking brave hero. He's a creepy old power broker and influence peddler.
And we've all seen how trustworthy "high ranking conservatives" are.

Exactly. He even admitted that he knew about child rapes, but didn't bother to investigate.
[–] think- ago
Wrong. He didn't always 'maintain he wasn't touched'. He didn't tell his parents, that's all. He later killed himself with a heroin overdose.
