The arrogance is breathtaking, the vast sums of money, the pomp, that 'holy nonsense' and this man has priests, people, all over his diocese doffing the hat at him.
His words and demeanour at the Commission bear little resemblance to so much of the 'clerical pronouncements' the cardinal archbishop has made in the past.
How come all these bishops, cardinals, provincials knew/know exactly what God is thinking on all matters of sexuality? It now turns out they are fumbling, incompetent and arrogant men, trying desperately to run from the cameras of world opinion. Is it a question of the light versus the darkness but in reverse?
Might he be chastened? Unlikely.
After his testimony, Cardinal Pell is expected to leave Australia for Rome to take on a new senior role at the Vatican, which includes responsibility for preparing the Vatican's annual budget, as well as financial planning and enhanced internal controls.

Pell is a pompous idiot.
Heard him on radio in long debate with Richard Dawkins and he was appalling.
Don't understand why he is on Pope Francis's advisory group unless it's a question of geographical balance.
