those outside oz, won't know pell.... he is a large threatening man, with an overbearing presence.
he's made his mark in the church by his "stand" on morals.
last week he made national tv by refusing to allow members of the "rainbow sash" movement, (a mixed gay/str8 group fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the catholic church) to share in holy communion in a service at his cathedral.
yet! it has been publically rumoured that he surrounds himself with ah!!.... well!.... "effeminate" priests.
btw..as prisca's post shows, he is not accused of paedophilia, but of "cover-ups"
