I have met this guy. He gave off a super creepy pedo vibe. He is the CFO of the Vatican and runs the Catholics in Australia. Well known in Oz for covering up priests under him who got busted.

7% of priests in Australia between 1960-2010 were pedos. This dude covered up their crimes, like his Pope bosses (3 now)

We've known about Pell for ages in Australia. About bloody time they charged the pedo. The Australian Police should have done far more, far sooner.

It's important to note that he isn't just some random aide, but is actually very high ranking in the church - especially in Australia. He is basically the #1 dude there, the pope of Australia. Here's how he's referred to in the article:

• Australia’s senior Roman Catholic prelate
• One of Pope Francis’ top advisers
• The Vatican’s de facto finance chief
• Member of a nine-member advisory council group [to Pope Francis]
