1. The reports in the popular press all included the line that Cardinal Pell spoke as head of the Catholic Church in Australia.
   This is not the first time that the media has published this furphy. Cardinal Pell is the Archbishop of Sydney.
   The head of the Catholic Church, if such person, exists is probably Jesus Christ if you know your Pauline theology.
   Coming in at a close second would be Archbishop Philip Wilson of Adelaide who is also President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, although I have never heard him describe himself as 'Head' of the Catholic Church in Australia
