How many years will the appeal take. Watch, they'll find a way to overturn the verdict. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This case really highlighted the uselessness of suppression orders in the Internet age. It was widely reported in December in overseas media so while Australian media was unable to report, everyone here already knew about it. |

Appeal will take maybe 6 months. |

Unless they find a way to make it take longer. The Church will find some good Catholic official to pay off in the justice system for 'the good' of the Church. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Why would they want it to take longer? He will almost certainly be in prison. It’s not like he gets to roam the streets while awaiting an appeal. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Maybe they all got together and he drew the short straw? The people are clamoring for a sacrifice, and although their numbers get fewer, they will sacrifice as many as necessary. I'm sure they've run this through their business model more than once. They are doing some Sun Tzu stuff, going to reinvent themselves and all that. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Because it gives them more time to find the right people to pay off or influence. They want to avoid the precedent of sending a high Vatican official to prison at all costs. Who's next, the pope? There's no way some recent popes haven't had sex crimes in their past, the odds of that very high. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Taking down the head guy would not look good. Unless by the time any of them get that high in the organization, they all have skeletons that keep them quiet?

Yeah, nah. It will be heard in 6 months or so. Not years. |
