Australian victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests said on Friday
(March 4) they were disappointed they were not granted a meeting with
Pope Francis and contested the Vatican's assertion they failed to make
their request through the proper channels.
The group of about 15 were in Rome for a week to watch Cardinal George Pell give evidence via video link to an Australian government commission about sexual abuse in Australia when he was a priest and bishop there in the 1970s and 1980s.
