'My Catholicism died the day the George Pell trial began.'

My Catholicism died the day George Pell was convicted. Will it be resurrected if his appeal is upheld this week? No. Pell didn’t kill my faith, but his trial was the virus that finished it off. To be honest, it had been unwell for some time. I’d been dragging it to mass for Christmas and Easter for years, telling myself it was fine, that seeing familiar faces and singing a few favourite hymns would perk it up.
