Most senior Catholic charged with child sex abuse convicted February 26, 2019 MELBOURNE, Australia — The most senior Catholic cleric ever charged with child sex abuse has been convicted in Australia of molesting two choirboys moments after celebrating Mass. Cardinal George Pell is Pope Francis’ top financial adviser and the Vatican’s economy minister. He bowed his head as a jury delivered unanimous verdicts in the Victoria state County Court on Dec.
11 after more than two days of deliberation. The court had until Tuesday forbidden publication of any details about the trial. The 77-year-old faces a potential maximum 50-year prison term after a sentencing hearing which begins on Wednesday. He has foreshadowed an appeal. The jury convicted Pell of abusing two 13-year-old boys whom he had caught swigging sacramental wine in a rear room of Melbourne’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1996 when he was archbishop.
I’m sensing a trend of sexual misconduct among priests. It’s almost as pervasive in the clergy as the trend among realDonaldTrump MarALago visitors.
It is time for PopeFrancis to reevaluate how the CatholicChurch deals with this problem of sexualmolestation.

Send him to confession and put him back on the job. Isn't that the way they work?
This is a long time coming. The Catholic Church has turned their back to the people for far too long.
Literally. For the love of god. Stop and fix your church. No excuses. sexabuse CatholicChurch
How is the catholic church still operating? The crimes of and by the church should be more than enough to dissolve this criminal operation.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is getting too widespread to be ignored. There needs to be a drastic change in governance with respect to transparency
Yeah, not only two You can just bet on that
Justice.

Good. Catholicism is nothing but a pedophile ring.

High time and too long in coming.
rolandsmartin I like PopeFrancis doesn't make me sick and tired of his taking the least actions agst his clerics/priests who rape boys and girls
Too bad the Catholic Church is still providing aid and comfort to Pedophile priests.
2? Bet there are more than that.
The worst lies are the ones you tell yourself. If you can't be celibate, then don't pretend. These perverts & phedophiles just use the cassocks as a cover & the church as hunting grounds for their preys. They are actually deterrents to those who want to serve God.
Hopefully he gets some hard jail time!!!!!
Democrat....,
I hope they let him rot in prison
There isn’t a systematic rape and cover up going on in the Catholic Church for the last 5 decades or anything.
xtrixcyclex Pervert. Lock him up.
I wonder how many people have completely lost their faith in God because of these fucking psychos
My friend Catholic obsessed friend told me they keep gay boys in the church. They start as altar boys and hide their orientation from society by committing to serving God. These boys grow into men still hiding who they truly are and... in my opinion, this is why this happens.
Wait but aren't the religious leaders the good guys? 🤔🤣
Think the shit going on in ozziland is bad? Visit brazil, peru, and other countries where parents are still too scared to speak out due to lical taboos.
falsereligion
Everything about Cardinal Pell directly from Vatican and Australia
putinsuckit WTF. At least 1,000 priest only (in any 1 County) should be in jail for LIFE. Cult of pedophiles!!! : :
Good. Justice should be served against these predators to the fullest extent.
Disgusting..so this where weekly donations will go to lawsuits
