Damian Thompson hopes Cardinal will provide some good appointments and give more positive direction to the Church in England.

It might be premature to hope that, because Cardinal Pell has done and not done various things that don't provide for much enthusiasm on the part of some:

When he turned a blind eye to Stations of the Forest by Caritas.

When he said,in relation to John Paul II's death and the election of a new Pope that, "Sometimes the Holy Spirit gets it wrong", here.

Recently turned a blind eye to a scandalous "Gay" Mass in Sydney, here.

On the other hand, he:

Made some timely statements about Islam, here.

Denounced the so-called "primacy of conscience" which allows female religious to destroy the Church under cover of an alleged vocation, here.

Global Warming skeptic, here.
