Pell's outrageous comments

Cardinal George Pell said the following in a video link between Rome and Sydney. It is outrageous in every aspect. And he gets away with it.

The Catholic Church has spent years and millions of dollars, euro, pounds and all other hard currencies covering up.

What 'precaution' did the church take?

"If the truck driver picks up some lady and then molests her, I don't think it's appropriate, because it is contrary to the policy, for the ownership, the leadership of that company to be held responsible," he said via video link from Rome.

"Similarly with the church and the head of any other organisation.

"If every precaution has been taken, no warning has been given, it is, I think, not appropriate for legal culpability to be foisted on the authority figure."

How nice. So the employer just shifts the driver to another route, and the same again after the next complaint, and so on.

Pell is less than impressive on all fronts. Hard to see how he got where he did and is still hanging in there.
