Cardinal Pell exonerated!

[silentwitness]

We had a disgusting song from comedian Nick Minchin which demanded that Pell return home, calling him a “filthy coward” (as I recall - I’m not going to look it up). It was widely played. I’m sure the ABC would have covered it, at least once, if not more times, as “news”.

I think you mean Tim Minchin. Nick was a conservative politician and is now a diplomat to the United States.

Tim is an outspoken and dare I say immature atheist and made appearances on both the ABC and it’s British counterpart, the BBC.

Anti Pell song. (Well before Cardinal Pell was charged or even questioned by the Victorian Police).

Another anti Christian song (ITV England pulled the song at the last minute from broadcast). Tim described the decision to delete the song as ITV being “scared of the ranty, shit-stirring, right-wing press, and of the small minority of Brits who believe they have a right to go through life protected from anything that challenges them in any way.”

Speaking on the ABC after receiving Australia Day honours in early 2020.

Yes, it was Tim Minchin. Thanks for the clarification.

In the third video he spoke with concern about the decline of “our discourse” and spoke quite well (1:00).

I found it quite bizarre coming from him, as sharply illuminated by your other two samples of his work.

It appears that he doesn’t even think of Cardinal Pell, conservatives and Christians as people who deserve to be part of “our discourse”, except when they deny their own beliefs.

Cardinal George Pell’s appeal to the High Court of Australia was just granted. Convictions quashed. He’ll be released from prison later today.

Praise be to God! May he resume the greatness for which he was destined by virtue of his accomplishments.

I think of all the posters here you were the most gracefully behaved despite all the abuse being flung your way in the old thread for daring to stand up for him. I think every single person who implied or came right out and said you were a sex abuse apologist owes you a public apology. Not a single person against ++Pell had a substantive argument in favor of his guilt. It was nothing but “the courts have spoken. How dare you defend a convicted child rapist?” Well, here we are! No more conviction! I guess courts aren’t as infallible as many would like to believe.

Just so you know, rosary prayers on the CAF Perpetual Rosary in the Spirituality Forum were frequently dedicated to the release of Cardinal Pell.
