I have no doubt that some of the gossip being denounced by Our Holy Father is that gossip coming out of Australia, where mere secular authorities, relying on nothing more than evidence, have reached the conclusion the Holy Spirit Chosen Bishops of the Church and the Popes themselves placed the reputation of the Church over the safety of children.  Hopefully the Vicar of Christ will order the excommunication of those victims who spoke out, after being warned of the consequences of speaking out against God's One True Church.  It's what Pell would want to do.  It's what Jesus would want.
