Today was a fine display of jurisprudence by the High Court. I was really surprised by the decision of the Victorian court of appeals, that was truly perverse.

Very troubling times.

I just say look at your faith @ DIES SANGUINIS...@CASTRATO...and @HILARIA(easter). Never heard of Attis and Cybele?......Listen> Sybil-ine oracle....= oracle of Cybel e.

Even if he could have committed the crime, (which seemingly he couldn't) we should never convict people on the unsupported testimony of a single person.. especially from decades ago.
That is what was the most outrageous thing to me as a lawyer. I have little hope for this country and am planning my retreat to freerer nation after twenty years as a civil rights advocate and dirty wrongthinker as a centrist. There was no evidence, at all, just the word of a man who had profited considerably from his story and had incredibly poor character, polydrug use, etc, etc. Having a pillar of the community found guilty and incarcerated over the word of one junkie while the hounds bayed outside is shocking.
What u r saying is wrong here. Some people abused so many years that they r damaged. When they have the freedom of simple life. It took them years to feel normal again. This people then can come forward n tell there horror stories. What we do about this people? Tell me?
@@djinghiskhan9199 . There are as well malicious people making false allegations all the time... clearest example are the rape accusations against Julian Assange. Hence it's better to innocent till proven guilty not the other way around.

Well said Andrew. You have been one of the few brave voices in the media in this saga.

@@sierracharlie7293 the High Court has not found him innocent of pedophilia. It overturned an earlier verdict on a technicality. It did not rule on innocence or guilt, just on the safety of the initial verdict. This is not the same thing as finding him innocent.
Bolt at his best. Very nicely done, covering everything lightly, bringing it home at the end. This was a deeply troubling moment in our society's history.
But no shame given to the accuser. One would think if the accuser was a liar he should be given the most shaming. Something about this accuser brought out Bolt's inner coward, one would think a malicious liar should be destroyed, if someone lied about me being a sexual predator, I would do everything to destroy them. I find it very telling no one wants to talk about the accuser and that the High Court indirectly stated to the world he is a liar.
@@south6bt I think that is implied and always has been. Bolt himself ended up committing quite early, as more details emerged, that he thought Pell was innocent. Well, that means he thinks the accuser is lying. But he can't know why - he does a good job of listing it off in a clip with Paul Murray. But here's the irony. People have paid the accuser a kindness, a mercy, shall we say, qualities completely missing on the other side of the fence, because there is the very real element of him being a bit of a lame duck, damaged, and our society, traditionally, applies benevolence to that ilk. He's anonymous, so you are delivering destruction to whom? But the High Court did serve it up by making it very clear that his account is pure fiction, let there be no doubt. Obviously, that being the best they could manage in nurturing the accusation, the finished product never should have made it out of the cop shop. In a normal world, it never would have made it out of the cop shop, let alone up the chain, waved through at every check point. So a liar's story would normally have never climbed so high.
Ultimately The problem is that the Catholic church has a long and proven track record. Of priests sexually assaulting children and then their superiors in the church covering it up. This involves relocating the child sex offenders to other parishes where the offending reoccurs. These are very sick and disturbed men of god. What do you expect the law abiding citizens of Australia to believe? That an accused pedophile who is also a Catholic priest isn't guilty? That seems unlikely to the rest of us.
I am no Catholic, but in times where Christianity is attacked like this, I find myself suddenly in support of the old Church. This was no "witch hunt", it was a deliberate attempt to chip away at the influence of Christianity in the world. Why wait for Pell to become a Cardinal? Why suddenly build an entire case against him based on subjective emotive responses? Yes, SHAME to these monsters for destroying a good man's reputation. God only knows, the world needs more good people. Stand strong, Cardinal Pell.
It's the only way he could have tackled this without looking stupid.... actually he could have had some humility.. after all was this judgement coming from the Lord himself?.. exactly.
Taking baby steps and currently filed in the UK supreme courts, is a case outlining our treasonous govts & the federal 1986 australia act, filed by Rod Culleton (great Australia party) & crew. Directed first at WA...it’s now moved up a step. WA governor etc didn’t respond within 28 days. They’re the ONLY ones with ammo to stop them. ‘Ignorance is no excuse’. Keep backing others...and WE lose!
Give it a rest. Pell is still fundamentally implicated in many instances of protecting criminal Catholic priests over the decades. He is the embodiment of everything that is rotten & evil in the Roman Catholic organisation. And you’re no better.
Andrew Bolt has done a better job at investigative journalism in 5 minutes with his mobile phone than the ABC have managed in 18 months in this sorry affair.
People need to stop being so paranoid and acting irrationally. I remember hearing a story of a mother in a department store who thought a man was taking photos of her children, turns out he had the cameras reversed and was taking a selfie in front of a Star Wars cardboard cutout. Did the mother check first? No she didn't instead she takes a photo of the man and posts it on social media labelling him a paedophile. It was later sorted out, but damage has already been done.
We all know that the Catholic church has a lot of pull and that he had friends in very high places, so who knows why he was found not guilty. Certainly the plaintiff was genuine in his coming forward, out of the respect for his dead friend who could not put what happened to him behind, and his personal testimony does seem plausible in such a crime. What could have been the other reasons could this person come forward for, and why target Pell. So there it is. It's no surprise to me that he was like that as these two report shows the church is full of disgusting men in powerful positions. ruclips.net/video/G8-E_lbdslM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/gwyvMVxghwA/видео.html
@@richardchileshe9910 I'm by no means a religious person, I'm actually Atheist, and I'm not sticking up for the Catholic church in any way, I know there are a lot of disgusting people connected to the church, I was just commenting how people can be quick to misjudge others, the internet and social media in particular doesn't help. I don't know all the ins and outs of this case, and unless we are involved in the case, everything is purely speculation.
@@Pillock25Hi. very true, however under the circumstances I believe it was a case of being declared innocent, because the judges would not convict him because of the fact that there was reasonable doubt. In such crimes it is often impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, because it is done in private and in circumstance when the victim is a child or vulnerable, so a factor of reasonable doubt is always there. What had to be proven is. Was the person lying or have something to benefit from his accusation, and was the accusations plausible as these have been the factors that have convicted many pedophiles before him.
@@richardchileshe9910 Perhaps you should watch the video you are commenting on. How do you explain away the inconsistency of the timing that Andrew Bolt describes in great detail ?
And shame on pedophile apologists, minimizers, cover-up merchants and enablers. Shame on all those responsible for turning a blind eye to the violation of children by Catholic priests in Victoria over decades.
Yes Shame on you lot, you lot hate the Church just because its hardline on Gay Marriage, yes it's TRUE there were a few sad Priests around but their getting rid of them slowly. All you lefties also hate the Conservative Parties all over the world, hate Trump, hate Scott Morrison, Hate Boris Johnson, hate John Howard, hate Tony Abbott. But it's not working. If that were a Muslim Mufti doing these things there would be nothing said. True.
Aren't you upset that Bolt didn't reserve the greatest shaming against the lying accuser? After all, if Pell is innocent then the accuser must be a malicious liar.
Michael Damiani Granted, besides the idiot part. But I was reflecting on how much worse the persecution has been on children in the care of the church then anyone in the church getting persecuted for abuse with regard to that first comment and not the ruling of the case you, you idiot.
He's not innocent you idiot, how can you rationalize whats been brought forward about his past? Amidst these 405 days Victoria's purple circle was compensated trust me 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Observer101 That’s a typical brainwashed leftist comment. Throwing tantrums, insults and threats to the well being of others when you don’t get your way....you’re a despicable human being.
It's not a matter of hate, it's a matter of pure evil committed by a group of men who used their holy superiority in the community to commit evil deeds on the most vulnerable in our society, young children.
@@drazic2853 I guess you love identity politics and hate nation states. These are the people that attack Christianity and the Western world and would love nothing more then to tare it down. This time the facts won over your opinions and ideology.
@@bender4751 I don't make a habit of criticising Christianity, in fact I find its history enlightening. But as far as the facts go it's difficult to believe that George Pell, his time spent in Ballarat was ignorant to the organised abuse of children. One only has to read the findings of the Royal commission to realise that many of those in the religious orders are rotten to the core.
The answer is simple. He was judged by a jury of people taken from a population in which he was a household name as the most hated man in Australia. The mass outrage now the appeal was allowed is only indicative of this fact.
@@johnbrazier6503 I'm not sure if that is the true reason. Andrew Bolt did a recreation of the full allegation and walked the route that the accusers allege they took on the day. There was only a 5min window for this to have occurred straight after the mass and it's impossible to have happened the way they said. If this same evidence was presented to any jury of less than halfwits the logic is sound and I can't believe that his Catholic funded legal team wouldn't have demonstrated this. Now I'm not saying he hadn't done this before to other boys and from all the Catholic church convictions and even admissions from the Pope that it's been happening for ever it does seem a possibility, but the enormous power of the Catholic church surely may be a factor in perhaps getting him for all intents and purposes an 'early release' after serving 13 months and the appearance that the reputation of the Catholic church may be helped
A plea to Cardinal Pell . We are certain to have a very bad recession, every charity organisation including the Catholic Church will be pleading for funds to feed the needy and find shelter for the homeless. That is why you must take legal action and sue for defamation and wrongful imprisonment . We know who the culprits are , the ABC and their on air presenters, the Victorian police dept. radio commentators, newspapers and their journalists , book authors and even the Victorian Govt. and possibly the premier Dan Andrews, who can forget his rants when Tony Abbott visited the Cardinal in prison . I am sure a lot will settle and not want to go to court because of embarrassment .I think you will agree, getting these Catholic Church haters to cough up big dollars to fund charitable work will be a good outcome . This is not vengeance but rather true justice. I know the Lord said "Forgive and Forget " but that wont feed the destitute and the homeless. .
Thoroughly agree Andrew well presented and well said. Please don't let up on this case or let the next big thing get in the way of those responsible for this miscarriage of Justice being held accountable.
Thank you - you are the only decent media outlet that has spoken up for this brave, innocent man - woe to the all the media and government officials who have spent their miserable lives trying to destroy him - God wins!!!
Pell's acquittal just proves that you can buy the outcome you want, not your innocence. 12 vetted citizens had no doubt the accuser was telling the truth.
Read your bible, Karen! It says anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus is the son of God is an Antichrist. Therefore, any atheist or member of any religion other than Christianity is technically an antichrist. There is no singular "Antichrist" who will rule the world under a thousand years of darkness, that's a completely different biblical character.
I am one of those who convicted Pell just because he is part of the Catholic church , their history has not been great on side of abuse and I suspected Pell of being a scape goat for the Church . My apologises Cardinal Pell .
I couldn't agree more. Catholic clergy should be allowed to sexually assault children with no repercussions. It's god's will. Any parent who doesn't want priests touching up their kids should find a different faith. Amen.
@@pete-ex7qt Read the verdict of seven Judges of the high court, accept the fact, in the first case, there was initially, a hung Jury, in the second case, a guilty verdict, followed by an appeal, where one of the Judges didn't agree with the others, and you have a clear situation where people were being biased, not listening to, or assessing the evidence, and it becomes clear, especially given the fact there was so much in the Media about child abuse at the time, George Pell wasn't being judged for the claims against him, he was being punished for the whole Catholic Church. Oh, and by the way, any kind of abuse of a child is damaging, yet I always find it interesting how people only focus on sexual abuse??? So what about Physical and psychological abuse, or don't those victims even matter?
@@swagonwheelsCatholic clergy sexually abused 10,000s of children worldwide. The churches systemic response was to move pedophile priests to different parishes. This approach further enabled the sexual assault of kids. If you are OK with that. Then it is between you and your god. I hope you can sleep at night.
@@swagonwheels I guess you could argue that the jury believed the accusations against Pell due to the fact that it is not uncommon for catholic priests to be pedophiles.
He may be innocent of the charges Andrew, however he must answer for concealing and facilitating the ongoing child abuse within the catholic church and school system. I experienced it but fortunately was not a victim. The Catholic Church lost it’s grace over a 1000 years ago!
Pell covered for other priests for decades and showed utter indifference in the face of crying parents who told him of their children's abuse. Pell wasn't an angel
I always knew this stank. I have served at many Masses and what these evil boys accused him of is impossible. A priest would have to be INSANE to attempt such a thing in the sacristy, as you could be disturbed at any time. Thanks be to God for his acquittal.
At 9:38 He was already furnished with some type of guard employed to never leave his side. I'm only just hearing this story. Looking to be enlightened as to why. Did he suspect he would be scapegoated?
The same people wailing about Pell would have been praising our justice system had the result been different. I'm grateful Seven High Court Judges don't give a shit about their feelings. Ultimately, the premise of reasonable doubt is about every single one of us.
@Johnny Tobee Then I would want the actual person who did the crime to be brought to justice, not the wrong person, while the real one goes on free and enjoying life.
Pell was not declared innocent, as the judges following all the evidence , stated due to a technicality in the evidence; Pell was allowed to go free. The victim of the abuse in this case has to continue to suffer. There are no witnesses in child abuse, only the child, one only hopes for Karma for the children
Even if he is guilty, the evidence of the case is simply not there. Now clearly he is innocent. Surely heads have to roll. The Victorian Court system jailed an obviously innocent man. Those two judges should lose their job. Nothing less erodes any trust in the legal system.
@@johnhoward4413 This is the point. The legal system defines who is innocent. To think that you know more than the 7 High Court judges says something about your own arrogance and prejudice. It is bigoted to call him a pedophile because he is absolutely not. Remember in this case the easiest thing to do would be to leave him in gaol. To reverse a decision unanimously means this is not a technicality but the entire case was baseless. It says something is really wrong when the pack wants an innocent man locked up because of... what. This is a case with no evidence. You are not guilty just because someone says something. If I accused you of bestiality you are not guilty simply because I saw you in private I a park with your dog for 5 minutes. The legal system requires proof, otherwise it embolden people to invent crimes as a form of attack.
well done Andrew, you've been on the side of reason this whole time. We'd be really stuffed without your voice in the Australian media so please keep it up!
Not guilty of this crime maybe but are there other charges that have not gone to court yet?. Andrew ,my faith has seriously been tested . not guilty ,maybe ,of this charge but many others and they should go to court. So stop spruiking support. Shame shame.
When Pell was asked during the Royal Commission why there had been “so many child sex abusers aggregating in Ballarat East in the 1970s” he dismissed it as a “disastrous coincidence”.
Fabulous report Andrew he surely was hunted!!! We should all be ashamed of all those who lied and were part of this. May God judge them and may they get what they deserve. My prayers have been answered I never gave up and continued to pray for our innocent Cardinal. Aust should’ve been so proud of him instead they turned on him. Hell awaits these mongrels. Thank God he’s free he was always innocent!!! Good on u Andrew fabulously reported. Cardinal Pell you are in our thoughts n prayers gbu. Rest up now and continue to be strong!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was so absurd that we have heard about it in the opposite part of the world in Poland. How political agenda could have ruined somebody's life in such a brutal manner? Now everybody responsible should be judged including politicians and judges.
So... I’m reading that most people think he is innocent. Is he really? I would genuinely like to read peoples thoughts whether you think he is innocent or guilty...
He covered up child sexual abuse in Victoria for decades. Don't pretend he's a martyr. If he didn't participate in sexual abuse - which has not been proven - then he enabled it.
@Bainsworth cardinal Pell is a Roman Catholic. And he's an innocent man. You're no Catholic. Let him who has no sin be the first to cast the stone. You need to go confess your sins and repent.
If an august body of the greatest legal minds in the country, unaminously find an accused person not guilty, where in legal terms, does that leave the accuser and his supporters?
Hopefully 2/3 of those will go down with the rest! Taking baby steps and currently filed in the UK supreme courts, is a case outlining our treasonous govts & the federal 1986 australia act, filed by Rod Culleton (great Australia party) & crew. Directed first at WA...it’s now moved up a step. WA governor etc didn’t respond within 28 days. They’re the ONLY ones with ammo to stop them. ‘Ignorance is no excuse’. Keep backing others...and WE lose!
@Charlotte Dobrovits lol what horse shit. Of course there is guilt and innonces. If the judge thinks that he hurt the kids he will be ordered to pay damages. If he things he didnt he wont ! Funny how Cardinel Pell hasnt mentioned suing anyone in fact he even said he has no hard feelings. I dont know about you but if had spent 2 years in prison for something i didnt do i would have some pretty hard feelings at the so called victims and would seek serious compensation immediately !!! wouldnt you !!!
Che Bravo Andrew Thankyou .Indeed you have done both a splendid and courageous job you here in helping to set Cardinal Pell free and well done for timing the processional route. You are correct, as the instigators and perpetrators of this preposterous abject legal sham should hang their heads in shame, and its about time they quit trying this on ,and now leave the Cardinal to have some peace for the rest of his life!
Well done Andrew great work. Luckily we have a high Court. (May 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man go to prison) Blackstone's Ratio. I'm not a Catholic or religious, but I am an Investigator. Where was the Prima Facie Case in this matter? (ZERO) Exculpatory and Inculpatory evidence must be provided. (Withheld) Pre-judgement was extremely obvious from the beginning. (Biased Court Judgement) Facts, Evidence and the rule of law must be upheld. (Numerous breaches identified) Police must investigate the matter/incident and search for the TRUTH, not for the Crime! Searching for the Crime instead of the Truth/Facts of the matter pre-exposes the investigator to JUDGEMENT, consciously or unconsciously, which is not his/her role.
Does he have family that can provide him comfort now? Over a year in solitary, horrible. He was the one man I hoped would clean the Vatican banking system up.
@@lilyofthevalley8960 He's clearly not Catholic. Also it's time the church cleaned up the schools and who is considered cannon, because the amount of hard lefty anti Christians running around saying they went to catholic school (i.e. know nothing about Catholicism) as if that gives them authority to speak as though they know anything, when they don't, is insane.
It puzzles me why Victoria Police didn't undertake a full reenactment of the scene, that was so diligently and analytically performed by Andrew Bolt. That in itself must raise serious questions! Were the Police investigators assigned to this case arrogant, complacent, presumptuous or driven by political and personal objectives, with professionalism and critical judgement being excluded? I am not defending G. Pell or doubting the victim with my comment. My comment is purely to ask the questions ...how many other people have been unjustly convicted and are in goal? How many criminals and paedophiles remain free because the Police haven't performed a proper and thorough investigation? Unfortunately, this catastrophic media frenzy that we've all witnessed has once again distracted the focus away from paedophilia because of the determination to implicate the Catholic Church and an individual. I am not religious, nor defending anyone. While there is this continuous focus on one institution and individual, means all the other institutions and individuals who actively partake in this hideous crime are free to continue. I am not a fan of Daniel Andrews, but believe he is no fool and presents himself as an intelligent individual. I believe his tweet today was genuine and he is clearly wanting to see real victims of paedophilia see the perpetrators caught and brought to justice, like we all do.
“ Yes we must defend victims of child sexual abuse, but we cannot treat every improbable allegation as true & jail innocent people to make ourselves seem more compassionate & more moral-that is not more moral- IT IS UNJUST.”
I am just gobsmacked... Have lost complete faith in VIC police. Bunch of unprofessionals. Sixty Minutes should be ashamed of themselves. I feel sick in the guts that Pell was even in prison. Just sick.

Obviously, that being the best they could manage in nurturing the accusation, the finished product never should have made it out of the cop shop. In a normal world, it never would have made it out of the cop shop, let alone up the chain, waved through at every check point. So a liar's story would normally have never climbed so high.
GuerillaCatty73 Well said👏🏼
lol. Why is it troubling that people believe a Catholic priest has sexually assaulted young boys?
Ultimately The problem is that the Catholic church has a long and proven track record. Of priests sexually assaulting children and then their superiors in the church covering it up. This involves relocating the child sex offenders to other parishes where the offending reoccurs. These are very sick and disturbed men of god. What do you expect the law abiding citizens of Australia to believe? That an accused pedophile who is also a Catholic priest isn't guilty? That seems unlikely to the rest of us.
I am no Catholic, but in times where Christianity is attacked like this, I find myself suddenly in support of the old Church. This was no "witch hunt", it was a deliberate attempt to chip away at the influence of Christianity in the world. Why wait for Pell to become a Cardinal? Why suddenly build an entire case against him based on subjective emotive responses? Yes, SHAME to these monsters for destroying a good man's reputation. God only knows, the world needs more good people. Stand strong, Cardinal Pell.

Spot on Andrew Bolt. Those who understand the mechanics of what happens after high mass know what he was accused of couldn’t have happened.
Andrew Bolt has done a better job at investigative journalism in 5 minutes with his mobile phone than the ABC have managed in 18 months in this sorry affair.
People need to stop being so paranoid and acting irrationally. I remember hearing a story of a mother in a department store who thought a man was taking photos of her children, turns out he had the cameras reversed and was taking a selfie in front of a Star Wars cardboard cutout. Did the mother check first? No she didn't instead she takes a photo of the man and posts it on social media labelling him a paedophile. It was later sorted out, but damage has already been done.
We all know that the Catholic church has a lot of pull and that he had friends in very high places, so who knows why he was found not guilty.
Certainly the plaintiff was genuine in his coming forward, out of the respect for his dead friend who could not put what happened to him behind, and his personal testimony does seem plausible in such a crime. What could have been the other reasons could this person come forward for, and why target Pell. So there it is.
It's no surprise to me that he was like that as these two report shows the church is full of disgusting men in powerful positions.

I don't know all the ins and outs of this case, and unless we are involved in the case, everything is purely speculation.
@@Pillock25Hi. very true, however under the circumstances I believe it was a case of being declared innocent, because the judges would not convict him because of the fact that there was reasonable doubt. In such crimes it is often impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, because it is done in private and in circumstance when the victim is a child or vulnerable, so a factor of reasonable doubt is always there. What had to be proven is. Was the person lying or have something to benefit from his accusation, and was the accusations plausible as these have been the factors that have convicted many pedophiles before him.

@@bender4751 I don't make a habit of criticising Christianity, in fact I find its history enlightening. But as far as the facts go it's difficult to believe that George Pell, his time spent in Ballarat was ignorant to the organised abuse of children. One only has to read the findings of the Royal commission to realise that many of those in the religious orders are rotten to the core.
I'd like to know how he was convicted in the first place. Weren't there courtrooms full of highly educated and respected lawyers and judges?
They were full of bigoted anti-Catholics
The answer is simple. He was judged by a jury of people taken from a population in which he was a household name as the most hated man in Australia. The mass outrage now the appeal was allowed is only indicative of this fact.
@@johnbrazier6503 I'm not sure if that is the true reason. Andrew Bolt did a recreation of the full allegation and walked the route that the accusers allege they took on the day. There was only a 5min window for this to have occurred straight after the mass and it's impossible to have happened the way they said. If this same evidence was presented to any jury of less than halfwits the logic is sound and I can't believe that his Catholic funded legal team wouldn't have demonstrated this. Now I'm not saying he hadn't done this before to other boys and from all the Catholic church convictions and even admissions from the Pope that it's been happening for ever it does seem a possibility, but the enormous power of the Catholic church surely may be a factor in perhaps getting him for all intents and purposes an 'early release' after serving 13 months and the appearance that the reputation of the Catholic church may be helped

A plea to Cardinal Pell . We are certain to have a very bad recession, every charity organisation including the Catholic Church will be pleading for funds to feed the needy and find shelter for the homeless. That is why you must take legal action and sue for defamation and wrongful imprisonment . We know who the culprits are , the ABC and their on air presenters, the Victorian police dept. radio commentators, newspapers and their journalists , book authors and even the Victorian Govt. and possibly the premier Dan Andrews, who can forget his rants when Tony Abbott visited the Cardinal in prison . I am sure a lot will settle and not want to go to court because of embarrassment .I think you will agree, getting these Catholic Church haters to cough up big dollars to fund charitable work will be a good outcome . This is not vengeance but rather true justice. I know the Lord said "Forgive and Forget " but that wont feed the destitute and the homeless. .
Thoroughly agree Andrew well presented and well said.
Please don't let up on this case or let the next big thing get in the way of those responsible for this miscarriage of Justice being held accountable.
Thank you - you are the only decent media outlet that has spoken up for this brave, innocent man - woe to the all the media and government officials who have spent their miserable lives trying to destroy him - God wins!!!
Pell's acquittal just proves that you can buy the outcome you want, not your innocence. 12 vetted citizens had no doubt the accuser was telling the truth.
He was obviously innocent, zero proof, and I despise Catholicism....

@@tania8953 your point being?

There is no singular "Antichrist" who will rule the world under a thousand years of darkness, that's a completely different biblical character.
@Karen Rehardt Gee! you sound so hateful ## Hate comes from the evil one. yak yak

Thank you Mr.Bolt
One hung Jury, one guilty verdict, one lost appeal, and finally, exonerated, in a case which should never have gone to court.
I couldn't agree more. Catholic clergy should be allowed to sexually assault children with no repercussions. It's god's will. Any parent who doesn't want priests touching up their kids should find a different faith. Amen.
@@pete-ex7qt Read the verdict of seven Judges of the high court, accept the fact, in the first case, there was initially, a hung Jury, in the second case, a guilty verdict, followed by an appeal, where one of the Judges didn't agree with the others, and you have a clear situation where people were being biased, not listening to, or assessing the evidence, and it becomes clear, especially given the fact there was so much in the Media about child abuse at the time, George Pell wasn't being judged for the claims against him, he was being punished for the whole Catholic Church.
Oh, and by the way, any kind of abuse of a child is damaging, yet I always find it interesting how people only focus on sexual abuse??? So what about Physical and psychological abuse, or don't those victims even matter?
@@swagonwheelsCatholic clergy sexually abused 10,000s of children worldwide. The churches systemic response was to move pedophile priests to different parishes. This approach further enabled the sexual assault of kids. If you are OK with that. Then it is between you and your god. I hope you can sleep at night.
@@swagonwheels I guess you could argue that the jury believed the accusations against Pell due to the fact that it is not uncommon for catholic priests to be pedophiles.
pete your an idiot that’s the same attitude used as an excuse for racism. Go fuck yourself.
He may be innocent of the charges Andrew, however he must answer for concealing and facilitating the ongoing child abuse within the catholic church and school system. I experienced it but fortunately was not a victim. The Catholic Church lost it’s grace over a 1000 years ago!
Pell covered for other priests for decades and showed utter indifference in the face of crying parents who told him of their children's abuse. Pell wasn't an angel
I always knew this stank. I have served at many Masses and what these evil boys accused him of is impossible. A priest would have to be INSANE to attempt such a thing in the sacristy, as you could be disturbed at any time. Thanks be to God for his acquittal.

nah he isn't worth it.

I'm only just hearing this story. Looking to be enlightened as to why. Did he suspect he would be scapegoated?
I'm guilty of crucifying Bell based on the media reports & the Supreme Court set me straight..
The same people wailing about Pell would have been praising our justice system had the result been different.
I'm grateful Seven High Court Judges don't give a shit about their feelings. Ultimately, the premise of reasonable doubt is about every single one of us.
The first time you told this story I knew cardinal Pell was innocent.
Lol I thought the same, who do we trust
@Johnny Tobee Then I would want the actual person who did the crime to be brought to justice, not the wrong person, while the real one goes on free and enjoying life.
Pell was not declared innocent, as the judges following all the evidence , stated due to a technicality in the evidence; Pell was allowed to go free. The victim of the abuse in this case has to continue to suffer. There are no witnesses in child abuse, only the child, one only hopes for Karma for the children
Bravo Andrew, you are one of our best defenders of truth and justice and free thinking. Bravo!
Cardinal Pell was paying for the faults of others!! Thanks be to God that he's free at last!
Even if he is guilty, the evidence of the case is simply not there. Now clearly he is innocent. Surely heads have to roll. The Victorian Court system jailed an obviously innocent man. Those two judges should lose their job. Nothing less erodes any trust in the legal system.
@@johnhoward4413 This is the point. The legal system defines who is innocent. To think that you know more than the 7 High Court judges says something about your own arrogance and prejudice. It is bigoted to call him a pedophile because he is absolutely not. Remember in this case the easiest thing to do would be to leave him in gaol. To reverse a decision unanimously means this is not a technicality but the entire case was baseless. It says something is really wrong when the pack wants an innocent man locked up because of... what. This is a case with no evidence. You are not guilty just because someone says something. If I accused you of bestiality you are not guilty simply because I saw you in private I a park with your dog for 5 minutes. The legal system requires proof, otherwise it embolden people to invent crimes as a form of attack.
Not guilty does not necessarily equal innocent.
You got it right Andrew.

Searching for the Crime instead of the Truth/Facts of the matter pre-exposes the investigator to JUDGEMENT, consciously or unconsciously, which is not his/her role.

It puzzles me why Victoria Police didn't undertake a full reenactment of the scene, that was so diligently and analytically performed by Andrew Bolt. That in itself must raise serious questions! Were the Police investigators assigned to this case arrogant, complacent, presumptuous or driven by political and personal objectives, with professionalism and critical judgement being excluded? I am not defending G. Pell or doubting the victim with my comment. My comment is purely to ask the questions ...how many other people have been unjustly convicted and are in goal? How many criminals and paedophiles remain free because the Police haven't performed a proper and thorough investigation? Unfortunately, this catastrophic media frenzy that we've all witnessed has once again distracted the focus away from paedophilia because of the determination to implicate the Catholic Church and an individual. I am not religious, nor defending anyone. While there is this continuous focus on one institution and individual, means all the other institutions and individuals who actively partake in this hideous crime are free to continue. I am not a fan of Daniel Andrews, but believe he is no fool and presents himself as an intelligent individual. I believe his tweet today was genuine and he is clearly wanting to see real victims of paedophilia see the perpetrators caught and brought to justice, like we all do.
“ Yes we must defend victims of child sexual abuse, but we cannot treat every improbable allegation as true & jail innocent people to make ourselves seem more compassionate & more moral-that is not more moral- IT IS UNJUST.”
