Kudos to Gillard.

[Guest]

For calling a Royal Commission that will lift the scum encrusted lid on the most vile, repugnant and cancerous peadophile network on the planet, the catholic church. And I sincerely hope that George "cover-up" Pell gets farking exposed as the festering, two-faced, lying, peodophile ring leading **** he is.

And if anyone wanted a reason to vote labor at the next federal election, this is it. Cause if Pell's pet Abbott gets in you can bet this commission will be curtailed and wound up very quickly, such is the corruption of the catholic church they would stoop to this level to protect their peadophile network.

The rape and molesting of children is a sexual desire of a subhuman species and those responsible for it, whether the perpetrators or those covering it up, should be treated as subhumans.

Chook.

well done to the most progressive prime minister australia has seen since whitlam! pewrhaps some of those frocked priests might now be foirced to unlock the confessional?

There are a hell of a lot of things about Gillard that i plain don't like..

But kudos where it's due..

This is a great thing..

And Pell & the Church will be exposed publicly for the team of paedophiles & paedophile enablers that they have been since the cults inception..

This hopefully will lead to all religions having to pay there fair in taxes,like any profit making business..

[stephenj]

spot on horrie, credit where its due on this, there are even a few things i thank howard for, not many? but like you im honest enough to know right from wrong

Farking Pell and his institutionalised bullshit.

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/pell-calls...113-299p1.html

"He said the church had worked hard to uncover child abuse." More like worked hard to cover it up the lying turd.

"We are not interested in denying the extent of misdoing in the Catholic Church. We object to it being exaggerated," Cardinal Pell said.

"We object to being described as the only cab on the rank.

"We acknowledge, with shame, the extent of the problem and I want to assure you that we have been serious in attempting to eradicate it and deal with it ..."

Misdoings...misdoings...that's all the destroyed lives of children equate too in this ****s cult...misdoings.

Listen to the prick, we object to it being exaggerated, we object to us being the only ones, we tried really hard to eradicate and deal with it...can anyone hear a "we're sorry". What a complete and utter ****!

"He has also denied the Catholic Church knowingly transferred priests suspected of child sex abuse to other parishes.

He said it is completely prohibited to shift priests who have been charged."

Being suspected and charged are two very different things, but do you like the way he's used them to claim the church has done the right thing!

What a malignant arsehole!

If there ever was such a thing as a god, Pell would have burst into flames by now. The fact this prick is still breathing proves there is no deity!

Chook.

The Royal commission is to investigate child abuse and if it turns into a witch hunt against one institution or religion in general we are missing an opportunity to weed it out in all the institutions where child abuse exists. Looking at the events unfolding in the UK (where the BBC was virtually a playhouse for child sex offenders) and taking into account the events surrounding the filming of the Australian series "Hey Dad", I believe that the entertainment industry should also be investigated not to mention the "Masons" that are being reported as serial offenders in England. They (masons) have influence in many areas including religion, politics and showbiz. Let's not assume that the Catholic Church is alone in it's guilt because we all know that it's not. If a teacher is caught abusing children in a public school, isn't that the same as a priest abusing a child in church? There have been that many cases of abuse in our public schools that surely the Department Of Education needs investigating as well. Gillard may seem to give a shit about this issue but until she is willing to investigate her own departments, this decision reeks of it being a political move. Lets wage a war against child abuse, not a war against religion. There is enough of that already.

As for voting in the next election I dont know anyone that will vote Gillard and most people I know are life-long labour supporters. We voted labour last time and ended up with a leader that wasn't even on the ballot, who proceeded to implement things that we voted against. Sort of makes a mockery of the democratic process that we like to pretend we have. Labour stabbed it's voters in the back.

Lol..

And here come the predictable defenders of the church..

I think the lady doth protest too much..

The church is a haven for paedophiles & enablers,no defence of them can change that fact..

As this Royal Commission will show..Publicly..

The fact that Pell is shitting his pants is good thing..

It is a vile sect that has gotten away with disgusting practices since it's inception..

The catholic church is not alone in raping children under their care, the scouts and entertainment industries certainly need to have their "misdoings" investigated by this commission.

However, the catholic church stands alone in having institutionalised the behaviour to a point where it cannot do other than admit it is a network for filthy, disgusting, perverted, sex starved, old men to gain access to children so they can be repeatedly raped. The St John of God organisation is replete with sex offenders. Over 70% of their head council have been acccused of molestng kids at some point in their past. The Marist Brothers is another catholic affiliation that leads with a heavy density of peadophiles in it's ranks.

This Royal Commission may not be the end of the catholic church in this country. But it is my ardent desire to see this putrid organisation stained forever with the indignity of being known as aiding and abetting in covering up the systematic rape of children and that subhumans like Pell are destroyed both personally and publically.

Chook.

Good on her & her Government. I think it is going to get pretty murky, wouldn't surprise me to hear a clergy member committing suicide over the coming months.

What about the ICAC investigation on at the moment. The greddyness & selfishness of Eddie Obied & his family just reeks. He deserves to go to gaol IMO & I vote Labor.

Hail Julia, its us women that always get the rough end of the stick.

[stephenj]

well eggfather i dont recall children at any masonic meetings actually anyone other than a mason is prohibited from the lodge room, no goats are chased, no virgins male or female sacrificed, the minimum age to join is now 18, however a reasonable intense investigation and interview process is conducted before a candidate is accepted; consequently dont start throwing around the name of an organisation because you know nothing of it! "Masons" that are being reported as serial offenders in England. They (masons) have influence in many areas including religion, who reported this? if you want to post some hearsay or opinion at least show your source!

[Guest]

whats the story exactly between the church and the kids and all that?
i dont really understand

[stephenj]

keggs i was just replying to eggfather who seems to like to accuse other groups of wrongdoing, based on hearsay!

[Guest]

Mate don't get me wrong..I'm neither a rusted on Liberal or Labor man..

I'm a swinging voter who is completely disillusioned with the 2 pathetic choice for leader it seems we'll be presented with at the next election..

I'll give Gillard credit for this great decision though..
