My point was that he was never in charge like many people think and so cannot be held accountable for not knowing what his colleges did
How would he have known. I can't imagine a colleague openly telling others about such acts

Bishop Mulkearns of Ballarat had moved Gerald Ridsdale because of complaints. Both men were to be later exposed for their crimes. 
The Royal Commission assumes that when Pell joined Ballarat 1973, Bishop Mulkearns would have told him. 
Its a wild assumption driven by the perception that he was a pedophile which was being told by the media back in 2017 when these findings were made

Pell's defence has been the same all along. There was a point in time when he did start to hear about complaints coming from parents
When he confronted his colleges they assured him that they were false rumours. He says he was deceived by them

What does a man do at this point. U may argue that he should of gone to the cops and in hindsight he should have
But u r choosing to believe the story of someone you have never even met and disregarding the word of your workmate. Then to go to the cops

So he knew about the complaints but how was he to possibly know if they were true. 
Knowing that his colleges were pedophiles and knowing about the complaints aren't the same thing

Anyway there is plenty there for u to pull apart and have fun with
Accept we know from prior cases that priests did confess to other priests of abuse .And yes he can if he knew but said nothing.
