Pope
Francis says he won't address child molestation allegations against a
top Vatican Cardinal who is one of his most-trusted aides until justice
officials in Australia have made a determination.
The
pope told reporters on the plane Sunday returning from World Youth Day
in Krakow that the accusations against Cardinal George Pell, Francis'
top financial adviser, "are in the hands of justice." He said that the
accused deserved the benefit of the doubt, adding that "once justice
has its say, I will speak. "
