A news story for next time, perhaps: I only just learned that Cardinal Pell was found guilty in his first trial for child abuse. Details online are scant because of a news blackout in Australia so as not to prejudice subsequent trials. He is the highest ranking Catholic clergyman to be convicted so far.
And now the Bishop of Covington has issued an apology to the pupils. (I refuse to use an American term rather than the good old British term for people who go to school.)

Euthanasia in the Netherlands makes for chilling reading, but unfortunately where there is morality without God there is no barriers. The state of Virginia in the US. is considering a bill that would allow the killing of a child in the first hours after birth. The Netherlands already facilitates this. Since Roe Vs Wade where abortion on demand was passed that was the beginning of a trickle in the dam that has now become a breach of the entire dam letting everything through. With the Liberals, whatever is given is never enough. You can read the story in the link below. God forgive us all.
