Cardinal George Pell has been falsely convicted of sexual abusing two boys in their early teens. That’s my opinion, based on the overwhelming evidence.
And my opinion is also based in part on how many times Pell has been accused of crimes and sins he clearly did not do.
But at last some of the truckload of mud thrown at him has stuck. It adds up to this: Pell, Australia’s most senior Catholic, has been made to pay for the sins of his church and a media campaign of vilification
He is a scapegoat, not a child abuser. In my opinion.

Declaration: I have met Pell perhaps five times in my life and like him. I am not a Catholic or even a Christian.
But here is why I cannot believe this verdict, which clearly shocked reporters when first announced (but suppressed) last year, and which Pell is appealing as unsound.

@Lav; my mother-in-law is almost 90 and has worshipped all of her life - shes' something of an authority on all that's 'right' within 'The Church'..
When I asked her for assessment of George Pell her response could not have been clearer - "
The Devil will get HIM!".
