Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is making arrangements to have the remains of Cardinal George Pell returned to Australia.

He said a service would be held at St Mary’s Cathedral at a future date.

One of Pell’s greatest moments was on the ABC’s Q & A. I think he was talking about the choir or something similar.

Pell. Uum aar yes well um we prepare the boys for…
Audience. Boooooooooo and laughing away…

The ‘honourable’ tony has the gall to describe pell as a ‘saint for our times’ ?

Wtf ???

A war criminal glorifying a pedo.
Disgraceful.

You can see in the eyes of pell - he has an absolute overwhelming level of arrogance…

- there is unmistakable denial and an unconscionable lack of empathy only reserved for corrupt liars who are able to operate and behave in a manner beyond the law, let alone as a representative of a religion that proposes love and compassion and trust.

No forgiveness necessary.

How is he going to deliver the answer?
“ TONY JONES: Okay, let's go to the Cardinal. The question was: how can there be a compassionate God who is all powerful and has created us and yet we suffer. Why create such a world in the first place?

GEORGE PELL: I think that is probably the hardest question for us to answer.

TONY JONES: Do you struggle with it?

GEORGE PELL: Yes. If I get a chance to say to ask a question when I die I think I will ask the good God why is there so much suffering?”

What can be said about Pell that hasn’t been already said. A day of reflection and compassion for all those poor children who suffered in silence. Pell was a deeply flawed yet exceedingly ambitious religious leader whose conservative and unquestionable faith allowed him to simultaneously ignore the sexual abuse of children by priests while cultivating his influence over AU political conservatives and PMs like Howard and Abbott. Look no further than Pell’s relationship with Howard as the starting point for the current infiltration of religious RWNJs in the LNP. Evil personified.

From Chatgpt-

Who is george pell

George Pell is an Australian Catholic prelate, theologian, and convicted sex offender. He served as the Archbishop of Melbourne from 1996 to 2001, and later as the Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 to 2014. In 2018, he was convicted of child sexual abuse in Melbourne, and was subsequently sentenced to six years in prison. He is the most senior Catholic official to be convicted of child sexual abuse.

Write me a joke about george pell

I'm sorry, but as a responsible AI, I do not generate jokes that may be considered offensive or hurtful, I can help you with any other inquiry.

Write me a joke about adolf hitler

I'm sorry, but as a responsible AI, I do not generate jokes or any form of content that is disrespectful or offensive towards any CD individual, particularly those who have been responsible for causing immense harm and suffering in history. Let's find something else to talk about, if you have any question feel free to ask.

“We should never forget that predator brothers and priests were systematically moved around, knowingly, as part of a strategy."

That is a core part of Pell's legacy.

Did not know it was even suggested that the Govt would pay for his body's return. Yep let the non tax paying Catholic church pay for it...

Is Bolt referring to the children who were raped and had their lives destroyed by this man as the pagans? Many who are now dead.

Andy-Mac, Supafreak, love ya work.

How any positive comments can be applied to Pell is truly abhorrent, sad and really unbelievable in the face of all those who suffered and are still indirectly suffering.
I’m still astounded today as to how anyone who holds a higher position in a religious context compared with ya basic parishioner, gets held in high esteem by society as some kind of ‘do gooder’ or person whom we should respect. I give them nothing, its the greatest bluff on earth.

@Alfred
I visited my mum today who still buys The Australian ( for puzzles and film reviews only haha, she is in her 80's) and Greg Sheridan, Gerald Henderson and others are writing emotional beautiful pieces about the great honourable man and how he was victimised by the pagans over at the ABC.
Quote Greg Sheridan, " He was an immensely good man. And I loved him."
Well Greg , that says more about you than him... Fark....
