Cardinal in final appeal over child abuse convictions

Cardinal George Pell, who was the Vatican's treasurer, has consistently maintained his innocence.

He was jailed earlier this year for abusing two boys in Melbourne in the 1990s.

After failing in his appeal of his six year prison sentence, his case will now be heard by Australia's High Court.

Pell is yet to be struck off by the Vatican.

If he loses his appeal, he'll be eligible for parole in October 2022.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
