Den katolske Kirke har enn\u00e5 ikke blitt ferdig med overgrepssakene, selv om det n\u00e5 er 15 \u00e5r siden oppvasken for alvor begynte i USA og enkelte andre land. Jeg forst\u00e5r at det fortsatt p\u00e5g\u00e5rrettssaker i enkelte bisped\u00f8mmer i USA, og nylig var det en stor h\u00f8ring i Australia, der kardinal Pell ble intervjuet ganske s\u00e5 grundig. John Allen skriver om dette<\/a>, bl.a.:<\/p>\n

… Pell, the Vatican\u2019s top financial officer, was giving testimony about his response to abuse cases in the city of Ballarat, where his priestly career began and which has been an epicenter of Australia\u2019s abuse scandals, and also about his time as archbishop of Melbourne from 1996 to 2001. He appeared via a video link from Rome, after a heart condition made the long flight home inadvisable.<\/p>\n

The four-day hearing was not a walk in the park, and Pell undeniably took some hits.<\/p>\n

Over and over, he insisted he was not aware of what he conceded was a \u201cworld of crimes and cover-ups\u201d regarding pedophile priests, that he, too, had been deceived, and that at most he was guilty of being insufficiently curious. …<\/p>\n

… Yet against all odds, there are five ways in which Pell actually may emerge in a stronger position from this experience.<\/p>\n

First, the lengthy examination failed to produce any new \u201csmoking gun\u201d proving that Pell had direct knowledge of abuse and covered it up. He did admit to one instance in 1974 of being told by a student that a priest at a local school was \u201cmisbehaving with boys,\u201d but said the student did not request action.<\/p>\n

If there was such a bombshell, this surely would have been the moment in which it emerged.<\/p>\n

By the end, the main charge seemed to pivot not on what Pell knew, but what he should have known \u2014 not what he did, but what he should have done. Those are serious questions, but there was no suggestion of any act that would rise to the standard of a crime, and the same questions could be asked of virtually anyone else who was in Ballarat at the time.<\/p>\n

Second, Pell went through the strenuous process without complaint, agreeing to testify from 10 p.m. every night in Rome until 2 or 3 a.m. He was under no legal obligation to do so, which makes his cooperation meaningful.<\/p>\n

Third, at the end Pell met with several of the 15-20 abuse survivors, relatives, and supporters who flew over from Australia for the hearing, with at least some coming away striking positive notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he gets it,\u201d said survivor Phil Nagle, who was abused by a priest in Ballarat while Pell was the vicar for education. \u201cWe talked about the future, not the past,\u201d Nagle said. \u201cWe talked about compensation, about care, about what the future will be for us survivors and how the Church is going to help out from George\u2019s level down.\u201d That implies that Nagle sees a role for Pell as part of the solution, not just the problem.<\/p>\n

Fourth, Pell pledged his support for the survivors and for recovery efforts from the abuse scandals, including offering to help create an Australian research center for abuse prevention and detection.<\/p>\n

Fifth, at the end of the hearing, Pell did not use comments to journalists to issue laments about the unfairness of it all or to suggest that he\u2019s some kind of martyr. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
