Poor Cardinal Pell, always the victim of such appalling deception and lies by those he should have been able to trust. If
only he had known the truth about goings on in Ballarat and Doveton
with abusive priests Gerald Ridsdale and Peter Searson, matters would
have been so different.
That was the line Cardinal Pell ran consistently before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse on Wednesday, and he held it in the face of obvious incredulity by commission chairman Justice Peter McClellan and senior counsel Gail Furness, who frankly told him his evidence was implausible and designed to deflect blame from himself.
