Cardinal George Pell is not someone who attracts public sympathy. He
presents as cold and aloof and as someone who at best did not have the
capacity to deal with systemic child abuse committed within the Catholic
Church.
For an intelligent man he misread the play alarmingly when giving evidence to the child abuse royal commission saying of one case, "It is a sad story and it wasn't of much interest to me." (He later desperately sought to clarify his meaning).
