I think that if Cardinal Pell genuially believes in God , he should realise that God decides what is good, and if He chose the Jewish people as his Chosen People, He new better than Pell.
Maybe Pell needs to read the Bible again
He will now have plenty of time on his hands
I think Pell’s problem is that he has always had a problem in expressing his views and says confusing things. Lets say he is a bit confused
I guess he showed everyone his true colours.
Did he choose a jewish lawyer?
I am almost speechless.What a bigot!
Is he guilty of child sexual abuse?
I don’t know, but he is certainly guilty of racism.
Suffer the little children who come unto me.
As the Torah says about the Jewish people, “those who bless her I shall bless and those who curse her shall be cursed”.
