Pell and other allegations

Doesn’t make him a socialist. Even in democracy people give things away for free. Actually even in most isms.

First and foremost he is a theocratist.

jeeze you’re boring.

They are doing live cross for Pell. Not sure I want to watch.

I am up for the Biblical interpretation!

Many believe that this was not a submissive statement to the Romans, but a subversive one from a revolutionary.

What I enjoyed was He didn’t give it to them (the money to pay for the Temple tax) out of the shared money bag they had, but instead made them go fishing and get it out of the fish. He paid Caesar but not out of their money, quite amusingly subversive.

Hopefully he didn’t read The Green Left Weekly and enjoy paying $20 for avocado on toast.

You’d be surprised how little people care about convincing you on this.
Those who know, know.
You’re going in to bat for the protector of a child rapist, not just once but endemically.
That last sentence works both ways, actually.

An interesting quote from the Bible!

I’ve been led to believe that quote was only in the King James Bible to give credibility to the divine right of kings.

Why people kill each other over lines in the bible because they’ve been translated multiple times and influenced by different people.

BECAUSE IT IS THE WORD OF GOD!!!

Nah it wasn’t just in the KJV, it was in all the scrolls that they translated from.

Anyway for anyone who likes to fish, God agrees with fishing so keep up the good work.

Just remember he’s not being charged with aiding and abetting other child molesters, but actually fiddling the kids himself.

Both are horrendous moral crimes. My suspicion is the he’s guilty of the first, and a bit doubtful on the second, based on what I heard in the early accusations, which was essentially being naked in front of kids at a pool. Squillions of blokes could have been charged with that all over the place.

I don’t think you’re a credible witness regarding translation of the bible.

That’s only because you don’t like me not because you know whether I am or am not.

Yep. I know that.
And I can’t speak to that, so I’m not.

precisely.

Pell himself can speak to the former however:

“the suffering, of course, was real, and I very much regret that, but I had no reason to turn my mind to the extent of the evils”

“It’s a sad story and it wasn’t of much interest to me.”

“It could have been the man was perpetually restless,”

“I’m not sure at that stage there was even a civic responsibility to report such a crime.”

If George comes back to face this then he believes the fix is in.

Horrendous. What sort of person says and thinks that.

Wonder who’s paying Richter to work on the fix.
