Why does this anti-Catholic bigot still have a job? Oh, that's right, it's the ABC, the centre of bigotry in Australia!
From The Australian

An ABC journalist, in an email inadvertently copied across the newsroom, has suggested the coronavirus should be awarded a Nobel prize “if it killed (George) Pell”.
Lincoln Rothall, a cameraman with the public broadcaster, made the statement in response to an internal news alert noting Pope Francis had met Cardinal Pell.
“I would have voted Covid for the Noble (sic) Prize if it killed Pell,” Rothall wrote at 10.13pm on Monday.
That was in response to an email from the ABC’s London-based supervising producer, which read: “The Pope has met with Cardinal George Pell at the Vatican this morning.”
An ABC spokeswoman said the email was “unacceptable and a breach of the ABC’s code of conduct”. “The employee has apologised. The issue has been dealt with under the appropriate procedures,” she said.
Cardinal Pell, who returned to Australia in mid-2017 to face child sex abuse charges in Victoria, met the Pope this week in Rome. He was convicted and jailed for 13 months but cleared by the High Court in April.
Cardinal Pell’s visit to Rome came as allegations surfaced that his Vatican rival, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, transferred $1.1m to Australia.
The ABC has published multiple investigations about Cardinal Pell, while the broadcaster’s high profile investigative reporter Louise Milligan has separately authored a book.
The ABC was criticised last week for not covering the latest corruption revelations from the Vatican linking the demotion of powerful Sardinian-born Cardinal Becciu to the transfer of $1.1m cash to Australia, a transaction three Italian newspapers and The Times of London tied to the failed Victorian pedophile case against Cardinal Pell.
A woman who was paid half a million euros to build a secret “intelligence network” for Cardinal Becciu has reportedly been arrested in Milan on an international warrant issued by Interpol.
Italian media, including major newspapers, report that Cecilia Marogna, 39, has been held by the Guardia di Finanza.
Cardinal Becciu, the second most senior official in the Vatican’s powerful Secretariat of State between 2011 and 2018, was effectively sacked by the Pope on September 24 in the wake of Vatican investigations of a failed, multi-million pound luxury property deal in London’s exclusive Chelsea.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
