The alleged crimes of George Pell

From The Editor of Beside The Creek:

I am not republishing or rephrasing this 

story from The Age in Melbourne, Australia.

I live in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia where many of the

alleged crimes have been perpetrated.

I live a few hundred metres from the Catholic Church

and Presbytery where many of the dreadful incidents

of child abuse in Ballarat are alleged to have occurred.

Hopefully, people will read the material on the internet

for themselves.  There is much to read.

Everything from the status of Cardinal Pell within The Vatican

and the regime of Pope Francis to the wealth of the Catholic Church 

in and around Melbourne.

I think it is fair enough to say that, innocent or guilty,

the retirement plans of Cardinal Pell

have been severely interrupted.

A number of good Australian journalists have covered

Pell and his alleged crimes.

However, I would - particularly - commend

the following book by Louise Milligan -

Cardinal: the rise and fall of George Pell.

A warning though: the book may still be sub judice.
