It's clear to me that the jury was rigged against him. Weren't there any Catholics on the jury to understand the vestments the Mass celebrant was wearing, or that the priests go outside to greet the people, or that the sacristry is crowded with people, or that Communion wine is locked away, or that a prince of the church would have a valet or someone help him disrobe. Talk about miscarriage of justice! Cardinal Pell convicted on five counts; verdict will be appealed: MELBOURNE, Australia (CNS) -- An Australian court found Cardinal George Pell guilty on five charges related to the sexual abuse of two 13-year-old boys; sentencing is expected in early March."Although the complainant got all sorts of facts wrong, the jury must have believed that Pell did something dreadful to him," Father Brennan wrote. "The jurors must have judged the complainant to be honest and reliable even though many of the details he gave were improbable if not impossible."
