The soul of the Catholic Church "has been grievously wounded from the evil of sexual abuse", Melbourne's Archbishop Peter Comensoli told worshippers at St Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday.
Last week Archbishop Comensoli said Pell remained a friend and that he would visit him in prison if Pell was sentenced to jail. "Our readings remind us that things are not always what they seem; that we must look beneath the surface and allow truth and justice to unfold in God's good time." However, a woman who gave her name only as Monica said she felt Archbishop Fisher had struck the right balance.
The Archbishop of Melbourne talks about the soul of the church. How can a construct have a soul. Only living beings have a soul. He should have said some of our clergy have sullied the reputation of ordinary Catholics and the Church.
To bad they weren't as compassionate when they preachesd fire & brimstone against LGBTI people and the recent marriage changes and in their compassion for the victims of their priest's.
Certain sections of the Catholic Clergy have transgressed. Time to bolt the door on the cell. When will the CC own up to this manipulation of children?
Well the fancy dress and snake-oil should all end - but it won't. The church is offering eternal life as a replacement for everlasting death. These are the ultimate stakes. And faith will win over reason. There is no direct evidence for God let alone his promises being fulfilled.
Whatever happened to what Jesus said. LET YE WHO WITHOUT SIN, CAST THE FIRST STONE.
The. Catholic Church is the victim apparently and all still friends with Pell 🙄. Get in the bin 🤮. Clean up your act or lose your flock.
Mass is something to stay away from until a root and branch cleanout is complete
At last, finally acknowledging the damage done to victims ... of wait ... it's the Catholic Church that's been grievously wounded, apparently.

George Pell case: Why the public isn't allowed to know the specificsHere's an explanation of the law which determines what can and can't be published in criminal court cases. Finally. SBS auspol This will end up being what I call the two tiered justice system in Australia. Bloke down the road = Multiple years of prison dependent on how many offences. Famous/rich/elite = Little chance of prison. If imprisoned, small sentence in a secure, affable lockup. I live in the US now. Can you hear me screaming for joy from over here Georgey-poo?!!! 🎉🎉🎉😈💃💃

Cardinal George Pell convicted of child sex offencesAustralia's highest-ranking Catholic has been convicted of five child sex offences committed in 1996, it can now be revealed. The Cardinal has already announced plans to appeal the verdict. Are you Catholics happy that the money you donate to church is being used for a QC for this cretin? They’ve already indicated they will appeal too. By owning up to our sin we give justice to our Lord and saviour. It shows the world that the RCC is in human hands and does fail at times. But not for this will she go under for Jesus promised the gates of hell will never prevail against her. Still here after 2000 years. Ass
