If you're not familiar with the story, here's a quick rundown:

Just another one of the Vatican's many pranks
Dominic Parker
Are there any proofs or it's #metoo bullshit?
Thomas James
nope
Brody Nelson
The accuser insists he and another boy were assaulted at the same time. The other alleged victim emphatically denied the incident until his death (the incident was like 40 years ago). Pell is despised by the Australian left (especially the newspapers quoted here) and gay rights activists.
Isaiah Williams
Probably got in the way of (((them))) from grubbing the vaticans bank and is now paying the price
Nolan Stewart

Grayson Garcia
Why don´t they sleep with women instead of boys, like most normal men would?

We mustn't make definite judgements about people before we are certain that they are lying, but:

Because one of the biggest pranks the Vatican played on the world is forbidding their clergymen to marry (save some areas of SA, where Catholicism is dying out).
Prots and Orthodox got that one right.
