Louise Milligan
“I can testify from my own experience the Church covers up, silences victims, hinders police investigations, alerts offenders, destroys evidence and moves priests to protect the good name of the Church. (Newcastle Herald journalist Joanne McCarthy, quoted on p.124)”
Louise Milligan, Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell

Louise Milligan
“People would think that clergy would plead guilty and would do all they could to minimise the stress and pain for the victim. But the Church will hire the best lawyers, barristers and even QCs to defend the abusers ... The victims are cross-examined as if they are on trial. The victims have to recount every detail of the abuse, and then are called liars.' (Sexual Abuse survivor Andrew Collins quoted on p.364)”
Louise Milligan, Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell

Louise Milligan
“Some of those watching believed answers like this (eg. "I don't recall", "I don't think so.") - which dominated Pell's evidence as well as [former Auxiliary Bishop of Brisbane Brian] Finnigan's and many of the other priests - to be a form of 'mental reservation' or mentalis restrictio in the Latin. It's a theological strategy dating back centuries, which involves the idea of truths 'expressed partly in speech and partly in the mind'. As the theory goes, lying is considered a sin. But a Christian's ethical duty is to tell truth to God - reserving or restricting part of that truth from human ears is ethically sound if it serves the greater good. (p.185)”
Louise Milligan, Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell

Louise Milligan
“The exercise of power became a constant feature of those years. And those who disagreed with Pell on matters theological or spiritual felt thoroughly marginalised. As the 2000s wore on, it was not just a case of Pell necessarily exercising the power himself, but that he had remade the Australian Church in his image. Dissent was actively discouraged, discussion about subjects he had declared off limits was avoided. (p.115)”
Louise Milligan, Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell

Louise Milligan
“Pell is unable to project a convincing sense of compassion, reform and healing. ... Pell looms as a huge liability in the institutional crisis ow facing the Catholic Church in Australia. (The Australian journalist Paul Kelly, quoted on p.125)”
Louise Milligan, Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell
