Great news for the Australian Survivors of Institutionalised Abuse this week, Cardinal George ( Paedophile) Pell, 3rd. man of the Vatican Collegium ( see Ancient Roman History of the Collegia of Rome) has been sentenced to Stand Trial for Historic Abuse Charges.
All kudoes to the Magistrate who heard the the initial Hearings and deemed that Paedo-Pell had a case to answer for.
It would now seem that that "Rock" upon which the Church of Christian Catholicism was little more than mud-brick after all.

The whole pedophile priest thing just keeps being outed worldwide. I have Catholic neighbors and I know it chaps their hide, and they're always on the brink of leaving the Church. But they don't. They are torn because one the one hand, institutional child sexual abuse, and on the other -- Catholic Charities, which they are heavily involved in. I don't see how that's a contest, but it's their affair I guess. Apparently they can rationalize child sexual abuse so long as the hungry are fed. As if there aren't all sorts of ways to do that without the Church!

It is a crying shame that ever so many Catholics, etc, seem so deeply indoctrinated that they simple choose to ignore the utter evils that their Church, and numerous others as well, have wrought upon people for centuries.
Where has their humanity, decency and caring gone if they can validate and continue support such vile organisations?
There are innumerable Secular Organisations that do just as much, if not MORE, Charitable works throughout the world and very few, if any at all, do it on the premise of gaining a "Free Pass through the Pearly Gates." They simply do it because it is the right, decent and Human thing to do, that, in my opinion, is TRUE Charity, Humanity and Decency.
