Can’t fight Vatican’s financial corruption or liberal agenda anymore

Cardinal George Pell is appealing the verdict from the Australian jury that found him guilty of actually committing sex abuse. Even if the verdict of guilty is subsequently overturned, it seems certain that Pell will no longer be able to fight financial corruption in the Vatican or the liberal agenda pushing reception of Holy Communion to those living contrary to Christ’s teachings.

It’s worth recalling Pell’s dire warning he gave in 2014 concerning the extreme goals of liberal prelates at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family.

“Communion for the divorced and remarried,” Pell said, “is only a tip of the iceberg. It’s a stalking horse. They want wider changes, recognition of civil unions, recognition of homosexual unions.”
