The most senior Australian Catholic, who you might have seen in debate,
Cardinal George Pell, is too unwell to fly from Rome to address a
Catholic organisation in the US.
This might seem pretty innocuous, but it comes after he refused to fly to Melbourne in December mere days before being due to appear before the Royal Commission into sex abuse by Catholic clergy. The Vatican came to his defence in saying he was too ill to fly.
