Kind of mixed words from Vatican here. Rather than being solely objective, the statement is a defense largely of Pell.
While he is given a leave of absence from Vatican job, he still can function openly as a priest.  I thought the procedure in place that when accused, a cleric is not to function as a priest until issue resolved.  Am I missing something here?  Policy changed?
Or, special privilege to special clerics?
Pell statement underscores his medical condition caveat.  Strange, if he has medical issue why is he supposedly working full time? Something conflictive here. Fishy?
Will Card. Law be recalled to USA about his complicity in cover up of pedophile priests?
Francis' record on ending this self inflicted wound to the Body of Christ makes it look now like the wound is mortal!
JM doesn't include item other papers are reporting: in one 4th grade class of 33, 12 have committed suicide relative to abuse.  Something rotten in Australia!
