+xDetails are now public. George Pell found guilty for sexually abusing two boys while he was Archbishop of Melbourne. -PB Don't know how to feel about this. I'm pretty anti-Catholic at times, and they have definitely been complicit in great abuse. I hope they catch a hell of a lot more of these criminals, and if Pell did it then I'm glad he was found guilty But I fear this one was a stitch up - the other supposed victim (now dead) says he was never accused; Pell obviously denied it; the officials of that church say the supposed context for the 2 boys to be alone with him would be impossible; and experts state that the robes he was wearing wouldn't allow him to get his junk out and do that like the complainant stated. This is why I personally hate sexual assualt cases. I'm obviously not saying we shouldn't have them, but the competing claims of 2 parties mean we as the public will never really know and I never know whether to celebrate justice or mourn injustice.
