Prosecutors seek media reporting ban on George Pell trial 

Not everything commented on is against your precious Catholicism. It was the prosecution who requested the media ban.

Oh, and as for the comments that he thinks abortion is worse than sexually abusing children:
https://www.smh.com.au/national/pell-comes-under-fire-from-sex-abuse-groups-20020729-gdfhr1.html

According to Canada’s national newspaper, The Globe and Mail , Dr Pell told his audience of World Youth Day delegates that “abortion is a worse moral scandal than priests sexually abusing young people”, during a public religious instruction session last week. The statement allegedly came in response to a question from a Kentucky youth minister, Greg Rickert, who had asked Dr Pell what Catholics should say when asked about the sex abuse crisis in the US Catholic church.

and just to make sure that he was heard

“I don’t back off the statements,” the Sydney Catholic archbishop told the Herald yesterday after disembarking from an early morning Canadian Airlines flight.
“I … mentioned that the church is being attacked for [sex abuse] sometimes by elements that are a bit anti-Christian … I said there are other scandals, such as abortion which are under-reported and because abortion destroys innocent life you could say it’s a worse scandal.”

Just because you are a devout catholic doesnt mean you have to automatically defend every aspect of it. Pell is a fucking disgrace and a rotten cunt. His home town in Victoria had one of the worst paedophile rings going.

Defending sexual predators now?

[anon26343222]

I defended you plenty of times. He is on about the Pope here

[anon61878697]

He’s on about a child sex abuser

[anon26343222]

I thought he was referring to HBV Pope tweet. Didn’t think a lad would respond to somthing posted 2 months ago.

Happy birthday to His Holiness, Pope Francis.

[TheBlackSpot]

That’ll be ok as long as when they leave Santa behind them they leave baby jesus there too.

[backinatracksuit]

Ah it’s no harm, seems to be good for some people, I’d say most Christians would be mortified by the TFK Catholics

@backinatracksuit

Ah it’s no harm,

hmmmm, there’s an argument there. I have no doubt it gets people through tough times. And I have no problem with people believing whatever they want except when they want me to believe what they believe. Freedom of religion but freedom from religion alongside it

[backinatracksuit]

Live and let live, it’s only a bit of fun really, some people need it

[TheBlackSpot]

Great fun altogether!
