Vatican finance chief George Pell is being investigated by Australian police over child sexual abuse allegations, a report by the national broadcaster said on Thursday, as the leading Catholic cleric denounced the claims as “totally untrue”.
Australian victims of child sex abuse in the Roman Catholic Church returned home on Sunday (March 7) disappointed they did not meet Pope Francis and angry with the evidence a senior Vatican official gave to an inquiry investigating the abuse.
Australia's highest ranking member of the Catholic Church has been accused at a royal commission hearing of knowing about child sexual abuse claims against a Victorian priest from more than 30 years ago.
