Cardinal George Pell risked a heart attack if he flew home to Australia to face questioning at the Child Abuse Royal Commission earlier this year but that hasn't stopped him tucking into hearty meals of steak and chips.

Australia's most senior Catholic has been pictured strolling through Piazza Navona in Rome with a colleague before they sit down at the Domiziano restaurant to enjoy a beer.

Cardinal Pell, 74, submitted a two-page medical report in February which stated a flight to Australia to give evidence would severely impact his health and possibly lead to 'heart failure'.

He was allowed to provide testimony via video link and concluded his evidence on March 3. The images of Pell eating the heavy meal and drinking a beer were taken six weeks later, on April 18.

Eating a meal is not the same as expecting an old man to fly around the world to appear before a witch hunt for the third time and answer the claims of a convicted pedophile that has admitted he has lied about Pell in the past.

Pell was well ahead of the curve in prosecuting pedophiles, he is just a magnet for anti-Catholic bias.

Phrasing...

Can't a man eat a meal these days without being crucified?

:oops:

Amazing what a village mentality can make people say.

Whats george done wrong ?

People with heart conditions would usually be advised to stay away from red meat, chips and alcohol.

:lol:

Guess it could be argued that mid-flight if he went into cardiac arrest it is a bit harder getting to a hospital than from a piazaa in Rome.

Did the courts have any issues with him giving his testimony via a video link??

I'm guessing he likes his steaks like he likes his children, undercooked.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your witch hunt.

I think you'll find that it was his lot that actually did the witch hunting, back in the day. :lol:

Back in the day? Thousands of people are still murdered every year after being accused of witchcraft, usually by burning. Thankfully it doesn't happen in countries where the Catholic Church has shaped society. Judging the Catholic Church on incidents from hundreds of years ago is not as accurate a measure of its value as judging it by standards in parts of the world where it has influence as opposed to those where it does not.

Contrary to wide-held perceptions in the West, child witchcraft in Africa is not an ancient "African tradition" but a relatively modern phenomenon dating back 10-20 years, says report author Aleksandra Cimpric. Before this, elderly people, and particularly women, tended to be accused.

The increase in accusations seems partly associated with the growing economic burden of raising children, linked to urbanization, separation of families and the weakening of family structures, says UNICEF's Theis; it is reinforced by the emergence of Pentecostal or revivalist churches in many of the affected countries.

Exploitative pastor-prophets claiming to be able to identify witches and offering exorcisms provide additional legitimization for witchcraft accusations. Their lucrative vocation complements the work of traditional healers, who also fight against the malevolent forces of the "other world", the report noted. In a televised case in Nigeria, "Bishop" Sunday Ulup Ay in Akwa Ibom state in the southeast made a personal fortune through exorcisms, charging $261 per child. He has since been arrested.

This is nothing more than a Christian witch hunt in itself.

George Pell never molested anyone. He is accused of either not doing enough or not acting quick enough or both.

But you would never know it if you read the feral media.

:lol: I have the world's smallest violin. :-({|=

You do not know that.



He's also accused of covering it up, and transferring priests he knew were kid rapists to other churches, where they then went on to rape more children.

If so, there is a burden of proof. Not a case of guilty until proven innocent.

Bring the proof and have him charged.

You're all for due process now, but were defending him for obviously lying to avoid it last page. :lol:
