Protesters sought to “hound Cardinal George Pell to his grave” outside St Mary’s Cathedral during his funeral on Thursday, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“Outside the Church, amongst the protesters, I saw footage of their signs railing against same-sex marriage and abortion, and what struck me was their ignorance,” she said.
“These are traditional church teachings that they oppose, fair enough, don’t follow the Catholic faith as I suspect many of them don’t. “But don’t abuse Cardinal Pell from following his faith on these matters because what he taught was the Church’s doctrine, not something he just invented himself.”
