Cardinal George Pell freed after conviction overturned

God bless Pell.

In Australia, IS IT OKAY TO SEXUALLY Abuse kids as long as you are a Priest? Just like (un)Cardinal George Pell?

Scum. So embarrassing for Australia's judicial system.

I have lost all faith in my country’s legal system we can’t even keep a pedophile locked up

There must be a lot of pedos out there wishing they had the money and protection from the church.

Its really simple Kill it, if its inoccent then his god will raise him to life..If hes guilty he will burn

He was found guilty then the Vatican paid for a High Court verdict to overturn. Found guilty by a jury. Corruption.

Please remember not to thumbs down because you dislike that this freak got off. The rating is for the quality of the coverage, not the subject matter.

I prayed to God to release him if he is innocent, and today is the day that prayer answered

Archbishop Pell was released from prison for his alleged paedophilia not on a "technicality"but because the judges looked at the evidence and concluded that there was none, – it was a total hatchet job. Not only was there just no evidence, but the archbishop could easily prove he didn't do it – but that didn't matter. the ABC etc. had already crucified him with their reporting, calling the accuser the "victim" and not bothering to report about any massive inconsistencies – the initial jury were already tainted. If any fair person actually bothered to study the case, they would clearly conclude that it wasn't even possible for him to have done what he was accused of. On the day in question, as a matter of regular ceremony, there was somebody with him at all times, an eye witness testified that it never happened. One of the accusers later admitted it was all BS – this was ignored. Pell was in the back room, actually a busy area, for 5 minutes only, and with somebody, an adult – then about 6 minutes after service he was at the front of the cathederal. Based on the accuser's own testimony the route he took to that room would have taken him all of 5 minutes to walk after the service, so ignoring the fact that there were contrary witnesses, ignoring the fact that one of the accusers said it was all lies, ignoring the fact the room was a highly frequented place and a most unlikely spot for such a thing to happen, ignoring the fact that there was zero evidence, the archbishop would have had about 60 seconds to rape 2 boys – really?? Anybody that thinks he's guilty either hasn't looked at the facts, or simply has a hatred of Catholics. Don't believe the crappy biased  media especially the ABC. The fact is, the guy was against gay marriage, abortion etc., so the PC Victorian police and the ABC just threw him to the lions without a fair trial. This isn't just my opinion – 7 of Australia's highest judges came to the same opinion. Now the ABC, after having devoted many hours of hatchet job coverage on this matter in the past, isn't even reporting it.

BEWARE WORLD. WE HAVE A SECRET WEAPON!

Cardinal George Pedo

Oh, Im really surprised… NOT.

It's always great to see justice come out on top.

I’m so glad Cardinal George Pell has been released from jail, sadly the witch hunt won’t end, but ‘some’ justice has been found.
The lying witness that put him in jail… I hope they are looking forward to an eternity in hell 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The jury sat through all of the testimony and evidence whereas these 7 judges did not.

A good day for justice in Australia. A high profile Church leader accused by one man who has a history of physchological problems. His accuser produced no supporting evidence and there were over 20 witnesses in support of the Cardinal. If this conviction had stood in Australia, the flood gates would be opened and many innocent people would have their lives ruined.

High Court put an end to our communist governments attempts to destroy Christianity, the fabric of Western society. Pell wasn't on trial here Christianity was. As per usual CNN & our governments show no respect for the rule of law. We shall just believe the liars. Pell was initially convicted on female feelings, not facts.

The hate and vile prejudice in the comments is shocking.

if you have money and power, you can get away from anything. and people still wonder why victims don't come forward? Disgusting.

Yes Australia has a thing about letting perverts walk free… and the funny thing is you get Aussies on social media having a shot at other cultures, other countries and ours is f'd big time… our legal system and those who work in it, seem to like these guys…
My brotherinlaw works in a prison that is there especially for these freaks … I heard what he had to say and he is no longer part of my families lives… My brotherinlaw is a guard in the prison and feels sorry for these perverts, thinks they have a difficult life… so you can see the perversion runs deep within our legal system in Australia.
Pells release is no surprise, it just absolutely disgusts me… Anyone who has a person in their lives, family, friend, work colleague, who thinks Pell should have been released then my advice is to keep that person well away from your kids, teach your kids that person is evil as hell and will hurt them.

There needs to be a John Wick type vigilante that castrates all these piece of s**t pedophile priests. And nails their balls to the Church doors.
