Judged and judgmental priests--Pell guilty

https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/12/12/cardinal-pell-top-advis...

Last week Cardinal Pell was found guilty of historical child sex offenses in Australia. The judge imposed a news blackout to avoid prejudicing another trial that Pell will face early next year. Ironically, the only media reporting the verdict appear to be Catholic news websites. The first trial is known as the "Cathedral Trial" because of where the offenses took place. The next one will be the "Swimming Pool Trial".

Meanwhile in Detroit, a Catholic priest has used a funeral service to condemn a young man who committed suicide, even questioning whether he will get into heaven.

Well if there is a heaven, and if it's full of pious hypocrites like Cardinal George Pell and Father Don LaCuesta, send me to the other place.
