Cardinal George Pell has had a long-standing "heart problem" but this
didn't stop him from making a secret trip by air to Australia in
March-April 2015, Broken Rites has learned. Even the Australian bishops'
spokesman on Royal Commission matters (Mr Francis Sullivan, from the
church's "Truth, Justice and Healing Commission") didn't know about the
trip until journalists told him in May 2015; and, by then, Pell was
safely back in the Vatican. Now, in 2016, Pell is refusing to re-visit
Australia, preferring to give his next batch of evidence to the Royal
Commission by video-link from Rome without having to face the church's
victims.
Some victims are offering to pay first-class air fares for a medical heart specialist to accompany Pell on a flight to Australia for the Royal Commission. But, clearly, Pell is avoiding Australia while civil investigations are under way about church sexual abuse that occurred on Pell's watch. As for Pell's "heart problems", church victims say that Pell is behaving towards them as though he was born without a heart.
