-- just let them try! Rorate Caeli
On this Trinity Sunday, let us pray to the Most Blessed Trinity so that the hand of Cardinal Pell may be strengthened. His numerous enemies in the Roman Curia have reached a new low: now they use an English member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors established by Pope Francis himself (abuse survivor Peter Saunders) on Australian private television (Channel Nine) to criticize the Cardinal and say that he "has to go" and that his position is "untenable" due to supposed failures of leadership when dealing with such matters when he was Archbishop of Melbourne.
The Cardinal's statement on the matter is at the end of this post -- he will use legal measures, and it is not likely that it isSaunders' position that will become untenable, as it is clear that he is making use of his own position as member of a Pontifical Commission for the protection of minors to influence the very composition of the Roman Curia. Despicable politicking and power games by "Progressive" power players.

This is not about the Cardinal's tenure in Victoria; this is about his position in the Curia now and especially in the Synod. The goal is clear: it is to weaken Cardinal Pell by all sides so that he may be silent and meek in the Synod Hall in October, quite unlike the way he was last October, when he did not let the "Progressives" move against the words of Christ as they had planned.
They will do everything do have their way in the Family Synod. Everything. They will stop at nothing. God help us. God protect the good Cardinals and bishops.
