Cardinal Pell guilty of child sexual abuse
Cardinal George Pell has been found guilty in Australia of sexual offences against children, making him the highest-ranking Catholic figure to receive such a conviction.
Pell abused two choir boys in Melbourne's cathedral in 1996, a jury found. He had pleaded not guilty.
As Vatican treasurer, the 77-year-old Australian was widely seen as the Church's third most powerful official.
Pell, due to face sentencing hearings from Wednesday, has lodged an appeal.
The third ranking Catholic, the Popes finance chief, guilty of fucking chldren in the cathedral.
When the abuse goes to the top it makes it easier to understand why little has been done on this issue. Pell was criticised for his reaction to abuse scandals and now it all makes sense.
