    Interesting to see a number of news stories on him - he went into hospital for a knee problem - that was a major headline story with a followup on how he has been axed from the Pope's inner team (although mentioning that this was after 5 years and almost expected)
    They want him in the spot light but cant say the real reason!
    Everyone who knows (probably most of the country) can yell at their tv! The others live in bliss and hopefully there are enough for him to get a second trial.

    This might also be the catalyst to end this silly farce.

    I wonder if we could setup exchange programs so that we could send high profile cases to other nations with comparable legal systems... surely more Americans will be less aware of your cardinal and you guys would be less aware of our OJ Simpson...

    Wonder if that might be easier than media blackouts.

    If the verdict turned out to be unfavorable to popular opinion, you could just blame that on the other nations stupidity and avoid a riot and stuff like that...

    I cant see that happening!
    It is meant to be trial by peers, not people from another country.

    Romans decided to abandon Saturnalia and go with Xmas, so there must be a good reason!

    It meant they didn't have to buy rings to celebrate it.

    George Pell is currently being sentenced on live tv. Not sure if it’s available outside of Australia, but https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abc-news-24

    6 years, 3 years 8 months non-parole

    His age and the way things were at the times the crimes were committed obviously were big factors in what seems like a light sentence
