If he has committed child sexual abuse then he should be punished for it. Where are the charges? What is the proof? There has been one charge been quashed, one case not proceeded with, one situation where he was naked in a public change room. You say you have personal knowledge which from my perspective absent that knowledge means it's rumour. I'm not driven by rumour. People's good character can be assassinated on it.
When a man is alone with a child and there are no witnesses to an abuse, do you automatically discredit their telling of what happened to them as rumour?
This is what you posted however, below and what I responded to
Interesting that the common theme is that decades later when he had reached a certain pinnacle in the Catholic Church it was then these things would surface.
I was saying that these things did not just surface as you suggested, complaints were being made about George Pell within the church for a long time
