The Pell Dawkins interview was great television.
Cardinal Pell's remark about the ancient Jews is not acceptable and his comments about the Holocaust were deplorable.
Had he made those comments on German soil it is quite possible the police might well have called him in for questioning as it is a criminal offence to deny the Holocaust or any aspect of its suffering.
This man is the archbishop of Sydney.
And Fr Tony Flannery is forbidden to write on topics that have never killed six million people.
Some months ago a priest spoke in anti-Semitic terms in church. He was later made a prior in a community.
There is something terribly wrong in the church at present. It is shocking behaviour.

Thanks for alerting me to that debate:

Pell was appalling all through. Clearly fancies himself, listens to himself, thinks he is a great debater, and hasn't a clue.
I'd hate to have him as my Defence Counsel on the day of judgement.
How did he ever get to be a Cardinal, or, as Richard Dawkins might ask, is that a relevant question?

Pell was appalling, ignorant and patronising throughout the programme. I wouldn't like to have him as my Defence Counsel on the Day of Judgement.
