Victims of clergy abuse won permission on Monday to be present next week
when Pope Francis's finance minister testifies from Rome to an
Australian inquiry into child sex offenses within the Roman Catholic
Church.
Child abuse victims angry that Cardinal George Pell will not return to Australia
to testify at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse had requested that they be allowed to hear in person
Pell's testimony by video conference, the inquiry's chairman Justice
Peter McClellan said.
