When George Pell
dumped on Melbourne’s Catholic Education Office in March the question
was: would the church strike back or hunker down behind the cardinal? On
Wednesday the royal commission into institutional responses to child
sexual abuse gave the answer: strike back hard.
At issue is Pell’s credit. Time and again as he has defended his record as a priest in Ballarat and bishop in Melbourne, the cardinal’s best answer to his accusers has been: my word can be trusted against yours.
That’s not looking so good now.
