Rest in peace cardinal 🙏🏻 you bore your cross to the very end with peace, faith, love and strength. Those who truly knew you, would testify to the love, intelligence and faith you displayed in your life. May God be with you and keep you.

George Pell. Evil. Not enough “Hail Mary’s” in the entire catholic realm to forgive him.

Shame on every person who supports abusive religious institutions, how can you retain your religious faith in the face of such horror
