Pope Francis has warmly welcomed Cardinal George Pell for a private audience at the Vatican after the cardinal’s sex abuse conviction and acquittal.
The Archbishop of Canterbury says the findings of an inquiry into child sexual abuse within the Church of England are “shameful and disgraceful” but not a surprise as he had known about the level and extent of abuse since taking up the post seven years ago.
Cardinal George Pell has left Geelong’s Barwon Prison after the High Court today set him free, saying that “justice prevailed” and he felt no ill will towards the man who accused him of child sexual abuse.
No decision has yet been made on whether Cardinal George Pell will appeal his child sexual abuse convictions to the High Court, a spokeswoman for the cleric says, despite reports to the contrary.
