Pell took the Oath and swore on the bible that he'll tell the truth, the whole truth etc.
So in his mind his conscience is clear if he just says that he can't recall. That way if the RC reveal evidence to the contrary (they are sneaky that way), he can't be accused of lying.
I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I find it very hard to believe that one can't recall a meeting or occasion where a child or parent of a child came to him and accused a member of his church of abuse.

#royalcommission - Cardinal Pell what do you recall?
Pell: I don't want to rule things out that may have taken place but that I can't recall
