Cardinal George Pell
is bold. Priests have told the royal commission into institutional
responses to child sexual abuse over and over again that they knew
something was going on back then and now regret doing little more than
passing the awful news up the line.
They left it to others.
That’s not Pell’s position. He says he knew nothing – nothing while he was a priest in Ballarat about the paedophiles around him, and little about these men and their victims in his years as an auxiliary bishop in Melbourne.
