The Vatican’s third-most powerful official has been convicted in Australia on all charges he sexually abused two choir boys there in the late '90s, according to two sources with knowledge of the case. A unanimous jury returned its verdict for Cardinal George Pell on Tuesday (Australian time) after more than three days of deliberations, the sources said, in a trial conducted under a gag order by the judge that prevented any details of the trial being made public. Pell, the Vatican’s finance chief and the highest Vatican official to ever go on trial for sex abuse, left Rome in June 2017 to stand trial in Melbourne. As that trial was about to get underway in June, a judge placed a suppression order on all press coverage in Australia, according to the order reviewed by The Daily Beast. Prosecutors applied for the order and it was granted to “prevent a real and substantial risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice.” That order remains in place in Australia. That trial, known as “the cathedral trial,” was declared a mistrial earlier this year after a hung jury, the sources say. A retrial began immediately and ended this week with the unanimous verdict.

In a book published last year, journalist Louise Milligan reportedly wrote that Pell was accused by two former choir boys of sexual abuse while he was archbishop of Melbourne in the '90s. The boys sang in the choir at St. Patrick's cathedral and were allegedly abused by Pell in a room in the confines of the church. Pell’s office told The Guardian in 2017 he “repeats his vehement and consistent denials of any and all such accusations.” A second trial known as “the swimmers trial” is due to get underway early next year, according to sources familiar with the case. That trial is expected to hear evidence that Pell “sexually offended” two men when they were boys playing games in a swimming pool in Ballarat, Victoria. At the time of the allegations, which date back to the '70s when Pell was a priest in the area, according to The Guardian. A court in Victoria heard in March that Pell, who has denied all of the allegations, would stay in the pool after swimming laps and play with children.

While details from nearly all trials in the U.S. can be made public, Australia’s judicial system is more favorable to defendants where the use of “suppression orders” has increased in recent years, according to The Australian. The gag orders are used for a range of reasons to prevent reporting that could prejudice a case and to restrict details heard in open court being made public. Steven Spaner, Australia coordinator from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) told The Daily Beast he felt frustrated and left “in the dark” following the secrecy surrounding the trial. “It’s hard to know if there are any shenanigans going on—things the church did that are illegal themselves,” Spaner said. “There is always suspicion when you don’t know what is going on.”

BREAKING NEWS:
STEREOTYPES ARE BASED ON REALITY

disgusting

One of those two choirboys (a gay prostitute drug addict with no reputation to protect) repeatedly denied the incident before his death. Pell is hated with a passion by the left wing media and politicians for his refusal to give communion to gay rights protestors.

Oh so I see why he was charged of (((raping))) children.
Nowadays the media is so powerful that if I was a priest and someone said I was a pedo everyone would blindly belive him.

...

...

Who said this?
Its Catholic heresy.

Fixed.

Cardinal Pell when he was debating Richard Dawkins. He made himself look like an idiot when Dawkins asked if Adam and Eve didn’t exist then how did original sin come into play

winnie the pooh Dawkins winnie the poohed him well.
How the hell does he know what original sin is?
What did the cardinal answer?
Because no Catholic let alone a cardinal can say that shit.
Pius XII confirmed again the dogma of Adam and Eve in Humanis Genaris, Vatican II also affirms the same truth as well as the catechism of the Catholic Church, just to mention some "up to date" statements.

He never directly answered Dawkins question, he just gave vague humanistic shit. He also had disbelief that God inscribed the 10 commandments.

Then why has he chosen to be Dawkins adversary? He just gave Catholicism a terrible image.
In fact how can someone be a Bishop while denying these stuff?

So he's a gay pedo priest who hates gays?

What if he's innocent?

Do you think Dawkins would ever agree to a debate he thought he would lose?

we already had a thread for this, didn't we? >>740457



Oh is THAT what you keep banging on about ... okay, thanks for explaining

dafuq?!


This is common. Closet-staying-strong-for-the-lord gays often hate homosex. One of my good friends was this -- he was the most strident opponent of gays ... until we later learned he was doing things in public bathrooms. I suppose the shame of his illicit actions was driving his hatred of all things gay.


Precisely! He's consistently refused to debate William Lane Craig who, I suggest, would wipe the winnie the pooh floor with Dawkins

Oh I see…
He is too big to let him fall. I guess that people could convert to Christianity.

Australian here, all news of Pell's verdict has been completely blacklisted/censored and totally unreported in Australian media. Literally nothing has been said about him or his case. I just thought I'd let you know.

WLC is a moron

How so?

The problem with mandatory priestly celibacy is that it attracts gangs of effeminate faggots, who are prone to covering up for each other.
If priests were allowed to marry then their ranks would be full of regular guys, with families, who are less prone to cover up for the globohomos.

Mandatory priestly celibacy was a mistake. It's redundant since we already have monastic celibacy.
It's fine for monks because very few are called to be monastics, and because they live often live secluded lives away from temptations and have to work physically for a living.

Was Jesus an "effeminate faggot"? He was celibate, you know.

You're low iq

Guess reading is hard for you

Homosexuals are attracted to sodomy not celibacy, your opinions are based on Freudian bs


celibacy actually gives people more self control over their passions, it doesn't make you a ticking time bomb

Also married men are required to practice celibacy as well, because a wife isn't some on demand fleshlight
