Bob's foundation gave a character reference that helped keep Joffa out of prison.

Sorry, MBB, but I find the insinuation in your opinion more than offensive. I have worked with Fr Bob and regard him as a very dear friend. I loved the guy... an inspiration on so many levels. His integrity was impeccable. For you or anyone to besmirch his character by believing that he would help a sex offender get out of prison is mischievous and just plain wrong.

You should read Pauly's response to your post and understand the time lines of the character reference and when Corfe's 'activities' became public knowledge.

Many people find your comments on Pell offensive.

Good people like Fr Bob will see the good and help anyone. I know the criteria for Sainthood is to have performed a miracle or some crap like that, if instead one of the criteria was to have had a genuine care and given endless help to the less fortunate in the community, Fr Bob would be a Saint.

In later years he became a bit gullible, easily led by those with less than genuine intent trying to use his profile for their own benefit.

An aside, I know someone who was engaged to drive him around a bit, he loved a chat, too much, so much so they had trouble getting him out of the car to go to his appointments. Whenever the car stopped he'd start chatting to people on the side of the road, they would move to him like moths to a flame, but he always treated people with care and respect whether they looked like bums or billionaires. btw., Fr Bob would not call a bum a bum, the only person he might call a bum would be a nefarious corporate type he caught taking advantage of the downtrodden, and even then it would take some provocation because he lived the creed of forgive and forget, he was always willing to give everyone a chance to make amends.

Perhaps he was seen as gullible and easily led, it was probably just his caring nature towards those who needed help no matter how troubled they were. Unconditional.

Apparently, Elon's Starship "experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly ..." 

Apparently that was all they intended it to do according to what I've read.

Who knows.

It cleared the tower....they just need to work on the bits after that....it's not rocket science.
Oh wait!
