Australian
Cardinal George Pell, accused of covering up cases of paedophilia and
sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church, has announced that he will
testify in a court case on the issue via video message.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, created by the Australian government in 2013 to investigate cases of paedophilia by priests, requested the presence of the Cardinal at the court case. Cardinal Pell originally refused on the grounds that he was too ill to travel to Australia from Rome, leading to an outbreak of criticism.
