Cardinal Pell admits he did not act on abuse claim

Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell has admitted he did not act after a boy told him about a paedophile priest.
The cardinal told an Australian Royal Commission into child abuse that a student at St Patrick's College in Ballarat said Brother Edward Dowlan was "misbehaving with boys" in 1974. He said it was "casually mentioned" and the boy did not ask him to act.
