MELBOURNE, Australia — The most senior Catholic to be found guilty of sexually abusing children lodged an appeal in Australia’s highest court on Tuesday against his convictions in the molestation of two choirboys in a cathedral more than two decades ago.
The High Court is Pell’s final chance to overturn his convictions, but there is no guarantee that Australia’s final arbiter will hear his appeal. The court only agrees to hear around one in 10 of the appeals that are submitted. The court only hears significant cases that raise questions of law that are important to the broader community or involve conflicts between different courts.
Just one more reason why people who tout religion as the basis of morality are hypocrites.
