In Other Bad News...
Apr. 7th, 2020 12:50 pmAnother deadly spider on the loose in Australia
This one's a Rock Spider, groomed, encouraged & protected by the Catholic Church, with whose power he not only committed his own acts, but helped to cover up & enable the acts of others like him - his 'Melbourne Response' to child-sex abuse by church officials served only to sweep the problem under the mat & allow it to continue unchecked
Unfortunately, it seems the evidence he was finally convicted on, hasn't stood up to the supposed scrutiny of Australia's High Court, which is a kick in the teeth for not only his victims, but victims of church-sponsored sexual abuse everywhere. Given the fact that 2 openly religious former Prime Ministers gave him character references during his trial, it's not much of a long bow to draw, that he has sympathetic ears in other HighCourt places as well
Even if...& I do mean if...he is actually innocent of the charges against him, he's certainly guilty as hell of aiding & abetting others like him to do incredible damage to children's lives. And if indeed, only god can judge him, can we get him to appear before that ultimate judge as soon as possible please?
