from this mornings hearings
Cardinal George Pell has faced continued questions on whether he knew about Ridsdale's crimes against children
He has maintained he knew nothing, and says he was deceived by then Ballarat Bishop Ronald Mulkearns
He said Ridsdale's offending was a "sad story" that was "not of much interest to me"
disgraceful.
Disgraceful. And clever. You can't follow up on something with a person who had next to nothing to do with it.
Everyone kept the pedophile stuff away from Pell.
Pell must have had many strange moments walking into a room full priests as they all go quiet and start looking at their feet.
Ballarat 1970'sAll the Ballarat Priests: Quick! It's the one moral man in all of the Catholic Church! (Pell)
Pell: Ok, whats going on lads?
Priests: (chorus) Nothing, O Great One.
Pell: Alright. Well, I'm going off to save the world. Be back shortly. (leaves)
Priest: (chorus) Gosh! That was close!!!
