Cardinal Pell guilty of sexual offences

quote [ Cardinal George Pell becomes the most senior Catholic figure to be convicted of sexual offences.Pell abused two choir boys in the rooms of a Melbourne cathedral in 1996, a jury found. He had pleaded not guilty.

As Vatican treasurer, the 77-year-old cardinal is one of the Church's most powerful officials. ]

If this was a new religion, it would called a sex cult instead of the catholic church.

This is old news from December for the rest of the world that wasn't under media blackout (he had another trial to face but that one's been dropped).

It's significant because he spent a great deal of his career educating on the dangers of homosexuality and how destructive it's been for society. He's now been found guilty of forcing choirboys to suck his penis.

I'd be happy the victims got some closure at least, but one of them's dead from a heroin overdose, and Pell's lawyers will have enough cash to appeal forever.
