Holy See's statement on Cardinal Pell

Sourced from QRes#6940

Let's translate their verbal jiu jitsu:

1) We respect the judicial authorities =

we own you, we can hurt you – appeal to authority

2) We await the appeal process = we put no stock in the jury verdict

3) Pell maintains his innocence = despite a conviction, he's innocent and we will exhaust all appeals (paid by the Church, of course)

4) While awaiting the definitive judgement = again, we reject the JURY VERDICT in hopes that a judge we own will over turn the conviction

5) while awaiting the definitive assessment of the facts, as is the norm = f*ck the jury verdict, only the appeal will sort the facts (which is b.s.)

This is so enraging!
