Cardinal George Pell is feeling "too sick" to face the Catholic
Church's victims in Australia but he is healthy enough to continue his
big job in Rome as one of the Vatican's top leaders. This Broken Rites
article examines some of the background to Pell's reluctance to re-visit
Australia to appear in person at this country's national child-abuse
Royal Commission.
The Royal Commission met on 5 February 2016 to examine whether Cardinal George Pell is prepared to appear in the witness box in Australia later in February to answer questions about how the Catholic Church, historically, has dealt with clergy sexual abuse in two Australian cities — Melbourne and Ballarat. The answer, from Pell's lawyer, is: "No."
