Since Pell is not a modernist, they will probably throw him under the bus.
The Catholic Church haters in Australia have hated Cardinal Pell for years. He’s a conservative they hate. I have never believed these trumped up charges on him and still don’t believe them. I think Cupich and others are queer as a wooden nickle. By the way all liberal bishops hated Pell because he’s been exposing them for years. He’s been railroaded.
