      When it was shown in my state of Victoria, the paedophile archbishop George Pell tried to have it banned and the gallery had to stop showing it after attack attempts and death threats.

      George Pell in his last years was shipped off to the Vatican to work as their head finance guy in order to get him out of Australia and away from the trial he was facing for the lifetime of child sexual abuses the Catholic Church committed under and by him.
