Aggressively serene!
If you are interested you can see St Patrick's Cathedral Melbourne on Google Satellite. The sacristy where the abuse is said to have occurred is right at the back and juts out towards the circle garden. The door the complainant said they used to re-enter the Cathedral is right next to the sacristy. By time the choir procession had reached that door, the boys entered the sacristy, poked around and found the wine and began swigging, there would have been people using the sacristy.
Andrew Bolt is known for having very strong opinions but at least his diagram at 5:26 helps to understand the situation. On Youtube enter: Bolt Pell innocent.
I get that they made a "he's too busy to molest kids" defense...but I've looked at the case. They were able to go public with the evidence that Pell was touching children. The police had multiple independent reports of the same behavior from earlier dates.
Now...I don't know exactly what happened more than anyone. I wasn't there...neither were you. What I do know is the evidence points to Pell molesting young boys and getting away with it for years. It's almost inconceivable that multiple adult men all remember being molested by this man as children and they are all making it up. Given the circumstances, it seems most likely that we'll never know the full extent of his crimes and whatever punishment he gets will be inadequate.
