Cardinal Pell Gets the O'malley Evil Eye

Sending out psychic drones?

Things are looking grim and ominous for Cardinal Pell, high-level curial reformer yet famous defender of the Faith at that heresy-laden Synod on the Family. He appears to be getting the evil eye from Cardinal O'Malley, the man in charge of those caustic pro-gay professional victims who are spreading their hate from within the offices of the Church itself.

Jean-Louis De La Vaissiere writes:

External experts brought in by Pope Francis to help tackle the tiny city state's ills are answering the papal call for openness -- and infuriating some Holy See stalwarts in the process.

Over the past few months members of the pope's commission for child protection -- handpicked by Francis to help root out sex abuse in the Catholic Church -- have publicly attacked a cardinal and a bishop.

The cardinal in question is the Vatican's finance chief George Pell, who was accused by commissioner Peter Saunders of being an "almost sociopathic" man who covered up abuse and tried to buy the silence of at least one victim.

Australian Pell, who was described by Saunders as "a massive, massive thorn in the side of Pope Francis's papacy", threatened legal action and was defended by the Vatican, who stressed Saunders was only expressing his personal views.

Despite the anger among red hats in the gilded corridors of Saint Peter's, Saunders -- a British child abuse victim -- stood his ground and has not apologised.

The anti-paedophilia body has strong ties to survivor groups who are highly critical of the Vatican, and its members readily draw attention to the Church's flaws, even if it embarrasses the very man who appointed them.

These newly empowered survivor groups are plain enemies of the Church and priests.

Now the office run by Cardinal O'Malley, the most senior man at the Vatican appointed to handle such matters, has issued a statement calling on Cardinal Pell to respond directly and promptly.

It was Curial Gang of Nine's O'Malley who signaled the doom of targeted K.C. Bishop Finn several months before his ultimate resignation.

“The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, as mandated by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, has no jurisdiction to comment on individual cases or inquiries,” the statement issued yesterday evening reads. “Regarding Australia’s Royal Commission of Inquiry into Institutional Child Sex Abuse, all appropriate questions are being dealt with by the Truth, Justice and Healing Council in Australia, which is coordinating the local Church’s response to the Royal Commission’s findings,” the statement says. “The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors remains dedicated to its mission as outlined in the recently approved provisional Statutes, which is to help the Church worldwide protect minors and make certain that the interests of abuse survivors and victims’ are paramount. To this ends the Commission considers it essential that those in positions of authority in the Church respond promptly, transparently and with the clear intent of enabling justice to be achieved.”

Just like FrancisChurch has done with Bishop Finn, with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, and with other good bishops in South America, Italy, now Belgium; they are muscled aside in the name of murky or overblown scandals.

Meanwhile there's almost nothing the liberal friends of Francis can do to lose their exalted positions in the Church today.
