There's plausible deniability & then there's Pell levels of denial.....What he would have us all believe, is that he has achieved the highest office in Oz, encompassing the levels of awareness & responsibilities that come with that office for the RCC, while at the same time, being completely ignorant of all that transpired around him.
"I don't recall" & "I don't remember" simply will not do, as any kind of a defense on his behalf.
Complete & utter hogwash.
I watched his evidence and I thought his levels of recall were extraordinary, as supported by his detailed diary notes. But to expect absolute specific recall of events that were, from Pell's perspective, not particularly extraordinary (and by that I mean no direct knowledge of pedophilia) is just silly.
