After Pell acquittal, pope compares 'unjust sentences' to persecution of Jesus

VATICAN CITY - Just hours after Australia’s highest court threw out the sex abuse conviction of the Vatican’s former treasurer, Pope Francis offered his morning Mass for all those who suffer from unjust sentences, which he compared to the persecution of Jesus.

Francis compared the suffering of those inflicted with unjust sentences today to the persecution of Jesus by Jewish community elders, with “obstinacy and rage even though he was innocent”. He was serving a six-year sentence on one charge of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and four charges of an indecent act with a child under 16, which the plaintiff said took place when Pell was archbishop of the city of Melbourne.

The Vatican has welcomed the Australian court’s ruling, praising Pell for having “waited for the truth to be ascertained”.

Hmmm. A raper of children being convicted is just like Jesus being tortured on a cross. I get it.

It seems typical of the Pope to downplay the seriousness of something as serious as clerical sexual abuse.

Мягче . ~пока был жив Сталин , Минздрав и не рисковал , предупреждать .

He should have left this one alone.

😤

...for all you full of doubt, this isn't the man to be called guilty for what others had done to give Christianity a bad name !! ✌☮

Idk what happened to the Pope. He's gone backwards. Way back.

😓😓😓😓

It's not surprising that the leader of this cult of pedephiles is celebrating Pell's acquittal.

A clergyman who rapes children. Is the Vatican worthy of existing if it allows this to happen?

One cannot say anything meaningful about this without citing Pierre Boudieau and his 'Religious Field' based on the Stakeholder Types introduced by Max Weber. ... The Prophets and Priests ... The Pope is a Priest, but preaching as if he was a Prophet.

Jesus is with the Altar Boy not the Abuser

¿Is he deranged? Unjust sentences are acquittals for pedophiles. Those who rape, hurt, abuse and murder innocent children are the worst of monsters.

Actually Dear Pope, the truth is not legally ascertained.

The real persecuted and martyrs are all the persons abused and left without hope.

🤦‍♂️, the Church should be disbanded and it’s assets seized and distributed to the millions of victims of their pack of pedophiles. The cloth shouldn’t protect pedophiles from justice.

Someone with the virus needs to cough on that old fool 😏😂

This is the world today. Somehow injustice wins.

Because he sucks ass

Maybe if the church hadn't spent decades hiding ongoing abuse I'd care what he had to say.

Is that from the trump playbook? They seem similar to me.
