The controversial former archbishop is due to have a funeral at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney on Thursday, after already receiving a traditional cardinal’s funeral at the Vatican.Community Action for Rainbow Rights have arranged a peaceful march for the same morning and are planning to continue despite news of the court order.

People should be remembered for the truth they lived. It seems fitting for there to be angry protesters there. This entitled grub hurt a lot of people. Let’s remember that.

Nice to see government protecting the Church against the consequences if its aggressive patriarchal bullshit.

For whom the pell trolls

Rather curious stance for the police to take. What is their motivation to stop people showing their feelings towards Pedo I wonder?

since when did a democratic free land restrict protests

As an Athiest….I would much prefer to be in the company of religious people than rabid LGBTQ+ advocates…

Vatican was created by Mussolini the devil.

Pedo”s protesting a pedo ? 🤣😂👍

Pell was a vile old creature!!

Paedophile protectors

But aren't pedos part of the alphabet people movement? Or if not now, soon will be. So why the protest if he was one of them?

Why would bisexual people care about his funeral?

Excellent.

At least the NSW Police are trying to stop it. Protesters are scum, no class. Pell was a pill for not supporting victims, but no one with dignity protests at a funeral. Arrest them with heavy fines

How utterly rude and insensitive to protest there

For God sake let's bury the man without the vocal minority knuckleheads carrying on.

Still no news of anything great he achieved in his time ....

2 groups I despise. Fight to the death and leave the rest of us out of it.

Ironic that those who cried foul when Pell was found innocent of pedophilia by the High Court are the same ones who support drag queens performing strip shows for school kids.

What are we afraid of? I may not agree with the protestors. I stand by their right to protest.

An upbeat marching band throwing confetti on his coffin would be better.

The left sinks even further into the sewer.

This repulsive tax dodging organization called the Catholic Church needs to understand what they do and who they are harming with their archaic secret keeping and ongoing pedophile protection

Should be a court order to stop anyone celebrating his life , just bury him and get it over and done with

That certainly bring me in support of their cause.

Police in America will brutally kill you at a traffic stop. Police in Australia will go to court to silence free speech in order to protect those who sexually abuse children. Just police being police.

Can we file court order to stop the police order 😂😂 Uno reverse there ass

Why are they protesting his funeral? I thought like most people they would be celebrating it. 🥳

Love his ballgown.

this isnt going to end well for poor old george pellinhell

Just throw the old dogs body in the harbour an let the bull sharks deal with it

Dutton to attend meeting with Voice working group this weekSky News can reveal that Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has accepted an invitation to attend a meeting with the working group on the Voice referendum and will join via zoom this week. “Mr Dutton cannot attend in person in Canberra because he will be in Sydney that day for several meetings and George Pell’s funeral,” Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said. “There is a feeling in Canberra that the Liberal party room will ultimately decide on a conscience vote on the Voice referendum.” The big questions are. What will we call our political system as we will no longer be a democracy? How will we be able to join or continue international groups such as the UN with a racist constitution? Will the voice be set up like ATSIC & will Geoff Clark have a voice? VoteNo The constitution is a rule book for governing. It serves all Australians equally. Singling out any group, no matter how well meaning, is repugnant. We have the same voice to parliament… one vote, one value. With the details hidden until after the vote, you’d be nuts to vote yes.
