Hopefully the women are the ones they are married to......Your hatred for religion has basically given you the green light to make a person guilty before having the chance to be proven innocent which is wrong.
But I’m Greek Orthodox and in our Christian religion, our priests can be married, have children and have sex with women.
Was that aimed at me? If so, not at all. I'm perfectly happy coexisting with any religion or religious person that lets me lead my life in peace, and abides by what I think should be a universal human value of not harming others.Your hatred for religion has basically given you the green light to make a person guilty before having the chance to be proven innocent which is wrong.

Someone with a strong sense of morality and decency would stand aside from a patron’s role while involved in such heinous accusations, avoiding any harm to the organisation they pretend to support.
Clearly Pell is not such a person.
It’s not up to Richmond here.
Does anyone really think his position is hurting the club?
I really can't see how.
92.5k members don't seem worried.
Has anyone seen where I left my damn rocks?If you are free of sin, cast the first stone.
The golden rule.
Cast in the sea of forgetfulnessHas anyone seen where I left my damn rocks?
I understand Pell May have many patronages. But the man is still innocent, Richmond could not make such a prejudicial call. They could certainly contact Pell's office and request he resign. I would urge Peggy to do that.Not laying guilt or absolving him ..... nor questioning it being his call or not to stand aside.
But I'm tipping the ol' Cardinal holds honorary positions by the dozens .... possibly hundreds .... I'm tipping while mounting a legal defence he has much time to consider which, any, or every organisation he should stand aside from. He's the honorary patron of many clubs and organisations so the club s best placed to make the call and should.
Mate the guy is pleading not guilty as he has a right to do, he has steadfastedly denied, unfortunately mud will stick , need to get rid of any association with kiddie fidlersI understand Pell May have many patronages. But the man is still innocent, Richmond could not make such a prejudicial call. They could certainly contact Pell's office and request he resign. I would urge Peggy to do that.
If there starts to be more noise made, and Richmond gets associated with Pell, then I'd expect a Pell to resign.
That thread was moved to Society, Politics and Religion IIRC.There was a norf dude who was derailing Richmond-based threads back in January about this issue.
That kinda gets to the seat of the problem.The dude accompanied Gerald Ridsdale, prolific child predator / rapist and his former flatmate, to court each day and was a character witness for him. Regardless of the outcome of his current trials (there will be two separate trials so who knows hold long this could play out) that should be enough to disassociate him from our great club, IMO.
If you mean me, I haven't said anything about my own beliefs.Best case scenario he is only a peado enabler.
Worst case scenario...
The man is scum and should have no official affiliation with the club. Just because he believes the same fairy tales as you does not make him a good person.
