Pak Sahafat – On Thursday, a number of Australian citizens protested the accusations of moral corruption by chanting “shame” at the funeral of Cardinal George Paul, a high-ranking and controversial cleric of the Vatican Catholic Church.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency from AFP news agency; Paul, who died in Rome last month at the age of 81, was buried in a church in Sydney amid heavy security presence as protesters chanted “Paul will burn in hell” on their placards.
In his final years, following a moral scandal, Paul was the highest-ranking Catholic official to be jailed for sexually abusing minors, though his conviction was overturned in 2020.

Opponents and protesters accuse Paul of supporting deviant Catholic clergy while holding high positions in the Catholic Church.
During his burial, Australian security agents had set up barriers to keep protesters away from citizens who had lined up to participate in the ceremony.
Many experts of social issues believe that the root of moral deviations lies in the restrictions that St. Peter, the seat of the Pope and the world center of the Catholic Church invented, which are contrary to the natural needs of a human being.
The Catholic Church, supporting the view that priests and even a group of nuns should devote themselves completely to serving God and Jesus (PBUH), forbade them to marry and start a family, and deal with violators in a serious and punitive manner.
