It is reported that Cardinal Pell has written a letter from his prison cell taking issue with the upcoming Amazon synod.
He writes that the church "cannot allow any confusion, much less any contrary teaching to damage the Apostolic Tradition...".
Cardinal Pell is in an Australian jail.
Is the idea of a cardinal in prison not a matter of confusion and damage?
What is it about right-wing prominent people that allows them to be so outrageous?
An 'ordinary' decent citizen, who would find him/herself in prison, would most likely be embarrassed to say or write a word in the public forum.

As a cleric convicted of child abuse his opinion carries no more weight than that of any other criminal.
