Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell has admitted he did not act after a boy told him about a paedophile priest.
The cardinal told an Australian Royal Commission into child abuse that a student at St Patrick's College in Ballarat said Brother Edward Dowlan was "misbehaving with boys" in 1974.
He said it was "casually mentioned" and the boy did not ask him to act.

Is the Cardinal a Sodomite himself?
Well, he was a Vatican treasure, or something like that.
were it a cheerleader and not a brother....Laz would hit it? Not guilty?
This was 42 years ago. People didn’t take this as seriously as they do now. I remember someone dismissing this kind of behavior as some sort of “horseplay”. Years pass and we know better now (just how destructive homosexuals are). Cardinal Pell is one of the good guys, I’m sure he’s wiser now.
We could probably take that to the bank, that he is.
No. He isn’t a good guy.
Guy guys don’t stand by and do nothing while little boys are anally raped.
Gerald Risdale raped at least 50 little boys that we know of. He was convicted of 138 separate offenses.
Cardinal Pell had this to say:
“There were audible gasps when at one point during an exchange over video link to Sydney, Pell said of Ridsdale’s abuse: “It’s a sad story and it wasn’t of much interest to me”.
Indeed they do not, but 42 years ago he probably didn’t know if the boy was credible and what to do to find out. Since he has had power, he has been at the front of changing things. The Left is after him because he is actually Catholic. One accuser lied about him but fortunately he was able to show that he was out of the country, the guy was totally non-credible but that doesn’t matter to the Left.
According to Pell’s testimony, he had never heard such a claim. It was 1974, Pell was not a cardinal or even a bishop, and he didn’t know what the misbehavior was. He regrets not following up on it over 40 years ago. Considering what has happened in some dioceses that was more obvious and completely overlooked or abetted (Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago for starters), his track record since then has been good.
Thing’s that make you go hmmm?
I’m on what some might call the extreme right and I can’t believe for one minute that Pell did not understand how to stop little boys from being anally raped by homosexual priests.
This guy Pell is obviously a friend of “the left.”
Why am I not surprised......
yep
