I agree wholeheartedly! Pell was no friend of Francis and was really trying to get the Vatican Bank cleaned up...then next thing you know he's shipped back to Australia, tried on ludicrous charges and now sits in jail.
I believe he was set up. The charges against him are farcical...but believed by millions who have been conditioned to believe that all bishops and priests are perverts. If Pell were really guilty there's no way Australia would have gotten their hands on him. Francis and his mafia would have protected him come hell or high water. I'm no longer a Catholic so I'm not just reflexively defending a Cardinal. I truly believe that Cardinal Pell was one of the good guys and he's suffering for that now.
Very sad for Pell.
The connection to this money pit may elevate Pells efforts to expose it and reveal the reason for the fraudulent hit against him, by two psychos. I hope so.
