It's an organisation that preaches morality and yet it's senior people can't keep their hands off vulnerable children.  Nothing more hypocritical than an organisation going against it's own morals, doing nothing when finding out the truth and then doing everything possible to avoid taking responsibility for it.

  Sorry, but that is laugably false. In Ireland lawyers were like savage dogs.  Now, in Australia the  church have begrudgingly offered compensation when there was no room to deny or avoid any longer. Around the world they have not been better.    Well they are not going to compensate hearsay. That is absurd! tell me who in the real world would do it? They will only compensate proven instances of wrongdoing.   Which takes us back to the original point of getting them to turn up for questioning... Or getting the police to investigate it (which it appears they often refused to do and even it is appearing they engaged in the opposite in ballarat)  they never said they won't turn up. They just said that Cardinal Pell is too ill to fly to Australia.  How do you guys know this is a lie? Just because he sits down to enjoy a meal, and a beer, or go for a stroll in Rome, is not sufficient enough evidence for me to say he is lieing about his general health and flying to the other side of the planet.  Maybe they can Skype him, presuming he is well enough. That is up to his Doctor's to decide.  he has as much right to medical care and the maintenance of his well-being as anyone else.

Well they are not going to compensate hearsay. That is absurd! tell me who in the real world would do it? They will only compensate proven instances of wrongdoing.   Which takes us back to the original point of getting them to turn up for questioning... Or getting the police to investigate it (which it appears they often refused to do and even it is appearing they engaged in the opposite in ballarat)

  Sorry, but that is laugably false. In Ireland lawyers were like savage dogs.  Now, in Australia the  church have begrudgingly offered compensation when there was no room to deny or avoid any longer. Around the world they have not been better.    Well they are not going to compensate hearsay. That is absurd! tell me who in the real world would do it?

  You do not know that.  Aikhme wrote:
  He is accused of either not doing enough or not acting quick enough or both.
   
   He's also accused of covering it up, and transferring priests he knew were kid rapists to other churches, where they then went on to rape more children.   Are you now making accusations that he did? If so, there is a burden of proof. Not a case of guilty until proven innocent. Bring the proof and have him charged.  And no, he is not being accused of covering things up. They would like to. But he is too smart for them.   There's a lengthening list of victims who've come forward to the Royal Commission.  The RC are supposed to pass them on to the Feds but, for reasons not known, the RC are still sitting on a proportion of them.   The Feds themselves are scrambling to investigate all the info they  are getting. Clock is ticking on Pell and a number of others.  Gets a bit trickier still when the police themselves get implicated.  Nothing wrong with people coming forward. I am all for it. There is an investigation process to take place. Just because people come forward doesn't make the claims true. They need to be proven.

  If a couple of Bankers within the Commonwealth Bank defrauded their clients against Commonwealth processes and policies or were involved in corruption, it doesn't mean the entire Commonwealth Bank is dirty. 
 
  They have to. When BP spilled oil into the Gulf of Mexico they had to accept responsibility. The church doesn't have the luxury of avoiding negative press when it's senior members (people who should know better) failed to act. These people represent the church and thus the church must accept responsibility as an organisation that failed it's responsibility to the communities most vulnerable members (children).   But that's different in my opinion. A Corporation was deliberately cutting corners or not putting control measures in place resulting in this ecological catastrophe. Having a couple of priests or employees break laws on their own accord is not the same thing.   There you go. The responsibility of adequately grouting the well is the responsibility of a few people. Same as the church instance.
