From  The New Daily (Australia)  george-pell-sexual-abuse-verdict Cardinal George Pell will face trial on multiple charges of historic sexual abuse, a Melbourne magistrate has ruled. Magistrate Belinda Wallington on Tuesday committed Cardinal Pell to stand trial in a higher court, but dismissed some charges. She ruled there was  evidence of sufficient weight on multiple charges against Australia’s most senior Catholic cleric for him to stand trial. Ms Wallington, who is continuing to deliver her verdict at the Melbourne Magistrates Court,  dropped several of the more serious charges against the Cardinal. She announced her decision with Cardinal Pell in attendance, along with his legal team and dozens of local and international reporters. In what is an unprecedented situation for Pope Francis, Cardinal Pell will be the most senior Vatican figure ever to face a criminal trial.

Dr. Chojnowski: Here is an announcement placed in Fr. Ringrose's St. Athanasius Church. This was just sent me by a parishioner. I don't see how you can say anything else but they are rejecting what has come to be called the "recognize and resist" position. What will Fr. Ortiz do since I know he is a "recognize and resist" Resistance priest? Things are a changin'. Here is the video the bulletin speaks of:

Dr. Chojnowski: Here is a Reader's critique of Bishop Williamson's position in the current "Pope Wars." To the question, Does Bishop Williamson's position avoid the charge of Schism? Mr. Kozin says that it does not, leading to serious implications for those adhering to his Resistance movement. Do the Dominicans of Avrille agree with him? We will assume they do until they say otherwise. UPDATE:  Interestingly enough, the main "Resistance" website in the US, CathInfo is taking a poll on the "pope question." So far, only 1/3 of posters on the website indicate they subscribe to the "Recognize and Resist" position, while 25% subscribe to some form of "Sedevacantism." A full 21% say they do not know whether Francis is pope, a small 6% subscribe to the "Resignationist" position, and only 3% indicate that they "know with certainty" that Francis is pope and, I suppose, support him as such.

Dr. Chojnowski: Would the Neo-Conservatives have quickly grabbed control of the "populist" Trump administration and have gone beyond anything imagined by the Obama administration as regards advancing the Zionist Cause, in order to simply fire a few missiles that were going to be shot down anyways?
