Saddened and angered watching this. Most or all of it is already on the public record, a lot of Ballarat Catholics, or ex-Catholics like me would know it all too. Pell has been climbing the Catholic corporate ladder while all this has been known. Priest> Monsignor > Bishop > Archbishop > Cardinal. He reckons he'll be next pope I'll bet. Dad went to St Pats with Pell, lets say they didn't get along. Dad always said the main thing he learned there was never send his sons to a Catholic school. He wasn't sexually abused, but bullied by the brothers, as most were. He was banished from the footy side and humiliated by the coach, a very old brother, for running with the ball, my Dad was a good player, always in rep sides, country journeyman semi-pro. (He sent my sister to Sacred Heart funnily enough, she has a disability and had a good experience there, Mum and Dad knew some teachers there, it was progressive. The Catholic church is a big corporation, it has some good divisions, and a lot of bad ones). St Alipius was our local Parish until Dad swore off the church when I was about 8 or 9, (he married and had kids very young and his parents were his only instruction manual until his mid twenties), my older brother was a gun tennis player and played for them, teamates committed suicide.
Pell should be brought to account
