Cardinal Pell

I still would not want to go to Australia but their high court has redeemed them from looking like a crazed lynch mob. Whether you think Cardinal Pell is homosexual or not, or whether you think he has indeed messed around with boys or not in the past his conviction could not stand in a country where people use their brains and have a rule of law. There is no way a cardinal could have done what he was accused of in the cathedral sacristy right after Mass and anyone who has ever been to a cathedral or basilica after the cardinal celebrates knows how many people both lay and clergy are milling around in the putting vestments away and trying to get the cardinal's attention. Even the invisible man could not have pulled off such a thing without bystanders noticing.
