The Late Cardinal Pell Condemned ‘Toxic Nightmare’ of Creeping Woke Modernism in Church

Cardinal George Pell, one of the most zealous orthodox Catholic bishops in recent years, has died. Pell’s passing is particularly significant as it comes soon after Pope Benedict XVI’s death and just as Pell’s condemnation of modernism and woke politics infiltrating the Catholic Church was to be published.

Many people just remember Pell as the cardinal convicted of sexual abuse. The allegations turned out to have been false, possibly a response to Pell’s aggressive investigation into the Vatican Bank under Pope Francis. Rod Dreher wrote for The American Conservative that Pell was reportedly uncovering both homosexual and financial corruption in the Curia and Vatican Bank. In any case, the Australian High Court evidently believed the evidence was in Pell’s favor because it overturned his conviction and exonerated him.

Pell did many good deeds in his life, as Church Militant described, and it is sad that he had to suffer so much for what were evidently false charges. Pell tried to fight corruption and uphold Catholic teaching and tradition in an age where church leaders and Christian leaders in general are beginning to adopt secular leftist beliefs.

The Spectator noted that Pell wrote an article for the outlet “[s]hortly before he died on Tuesday.” It was a call to face reality and stay true to doctrine in the face of leftist, Marxist-influenced secularism
