"That is their prerogative."
A flawed assumption that seeks to detract from an evidence based, impartial assessment or judgement if you prefer.
Here are some specifics that should resolve any delusions.
"... The commission found that Pell was aware of children being sexually abused within the Archdiocese of Ballarat by the notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale, and it was “implausible” that other senior church figures had not told Pell abuse was occurring."
"...The In Good Faith Foundation, which provides independent advocacy to people who have experienced abuse, said the commission had revealed that as early as 1973 Pell knew that offending was occurring within the Catholic church and he had failed to act."
“There were numerous opportunities for Pell as a Priest, a Bishop and as a Cardinal to do the right thing and at each point he appeared to show more regard for trying to maintain a shroud of ignorance, than protecting the most vulnerable in our communities,” said the founation’s chief executive, Clare Leaney.
“These failures to act have resulted in countless lives being devastated and too many lives lost. Not only was this a failure of competency, it was and abject failure of decency and care.
“These findings ultimately highlight one simple fact: George Pell has always known more than he’s claimed and done less than he should have.”
