I'm just glad that Pell has been neutralized in religion and politics, forever.
I recall his debate with Dawkins on that absurd ABC Q and A show back about 5 years ago. It was an embarrassment to have this pompous arrogant ignorant man taken seriously. I cringed watching it. Pell downed is good for his victims and good for the country. Mind you, there are Catholics who believe he was set up and framed by the right-wing in Catholic Rome because he was reforming the church with Pope Frank. Seriously, I've heard them. Preposterous.
I didn’t know that had happened. Sorry I missed it!
@Geoffrey51 You'll find it on YouTube:
BTW, we evolved from Neanderthals, did you know that? Well, according to Georgy Porgy Pell we did. The look on Dawkins's face!
What's especially gratifying is the comment of the Chief Justice that the evidence of the complainant was eminently believable; it had the 'ring of truth' around it. It's historically noteworthy that a senior court is now explicitly giving the message that victims of sexual abuse will be heard, not dismissed because the accused is powerful with powerful connections.
