ABC, however, has set a new standard for viciousness in its ongoing campaign of defamation against the Catholic Church and Cardinal Pell – a campaign that reached new depths of ugliness even as the High Court was considering its decision. (Who, one wonders, set that in motion? I wonder how long it will be until "progressive' state bureaucrats recognize a new opportunity for criminalizing Catholic doctrine. The most attractive presentation was clearly Al Jazeera. But the price we pay for weighting the system in favour of the accused is that many sexual offences against children go unpunished.That’s why it remains important that everyone who can report to the police does so.I would hate to think that one outcome of this case is that people are discouraged from reporting to the police.I would like to reassure child sexual abuse survivors that most people recognise the truth when they hear it.They know the truth when they look it in the face. Surely this policy needs to be reexamined in all jurisdictions in which it is in force, given the extreme difficulty of empaneling an unbiased jury in fevered public circumstances such as those surrounding the Pell affair (which resembled Salem in 1692 or France during the 1894 Dreyfus case).Comments are visible to subscribers only.

English Catholic bishops: Church backs vaccination to protect the most vulnerable T he unanimous decision by Australia’s High Court to quash Cardinal George Pell’s convictions on charges of “historic sexual abuse” and acquit him of those crimes was entirely welcome. Yeah, that’s showing respect for alleged victims and those they accuse, right? No matter if the accuser has indeed so come forward: an alleged victim is to be believed if he or she claims abuse, but if he or she changes his or her mind or reconsiders (perhaps as an act of good conscience kicking in), etc., that is to be ignored and the persecution proceeds. For if “credibility” is the only criterion to be considered, then no real defense is possible against a charge of sexual abuse (or any other charge, for that matter).Raising one criterion of legal judgment, complainant credibility, to the sole criterion of judgment renders a defendant guilty Media irresponsibility is not just a problem in Australia. I am a man who came forward for my friend who, sadly, is no longer with us.I am a man doing my best to be a loving dad, partner, son, brother and friend.I am doing my best to find and hold joy in my life and to provide a safe and loving home for my family.“The simple reality is that anonymous J made up the story about Cardinal Pell.
