Totally innocent and ppl hate him just because he was accused.

We don't actually know if he's innocent.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-30/george-pell-royal-commission-redacted-findings-could-be-released/11699188

In there, the key point is "the commissioners' ultimate findings into what Pell may — or may not have — known has never been made public.".

Also "Cardinal Pell said he knew a paedophile teacher was moved to a new school because of abuse allegations". I mean that alone, should be jail time in my opinion at least but I'm no legal expert. From a moral perspective though, that's a disgrace.

So we don't actually know if he's innocent at all. It's a strange thing they won't release the findings. Strange being an understatement of course. For it casts doubt. If he were innocent for example, then why hide anything?
