Vatican silence on Cardinal Pell's trial is a turn from a long history

MGB:_A healthy Church strives for martyrdom, not freedom. Imagine the witness of a Pope dying because he condemned Hitler. Sadly, the Popes could not. It is an essential change for Pell to face trial, but that should have been thought of as the minimum. I will be impressed if the Vatican pays all related civil penalties rather than claiming sovereign immunity and the myth that bishops are not employees of the Holy see.
