text: Why would it?  Why would the Pell matter force Francis to do anything?  He didn't do anything about Card. O'Brien, nothing to change his status as a cardinal of the Church.  He just let him retire.  Is the standard of the Holy Roman Catholic Church no more than civil law standards?
  
  Maybe, if Pell is found guilty in a civil court of actual child sexual abuse, Francis may act.  My concern is that Francis already has tons of reasons to have acted against Pell for all that was revealed about how he covered-up abuse and how he treated victims - there is enough there already for Francis to have retired Pell.   And he didn't.  Admittedly, he got him out of Australia and into a place where he couldn't keep on treating victims like trash.  He removed Pell from the environment in which Pell was doing great damage to the Church and actually put him in a job for which he might have some useful skills - guarding money.  
  
  This Church has no standards better than - greater than - civil law.  Sad.
