Zero tolerance looks different: As Francis, Australian cardinal George Pell of 2014, according to Rome, sought, informed him of this, his investigation because of coverup over. Nevertheless, Pope Francis made him prefect of the Vatican economic Secretariat. As the court in Melbourne has sentenced Pell in December due to child abuse, dismissed him Francis from the Kardinalsrat.

in The case of Pell, for example, indicates that the Pope and the Vatican in the case of accused high-ranking would react-makers on state Intervention. Would Pell have not been dragged before the court, he would probably be still in office.
Currently, the case of Gustavo Zanchetta catches up with Pope Francis, whom he had appointed in the year 2013 with the Bishop of the Argentine diocese of Oran.
