Cardinal George Pell says he was unaware of the offending of pedophile
priest Gerald Ridsdale in the 1970s but abuse survivors find that hard
to believe. Child sex abuse survivors say it's unbelievable a man of Cardinal
George Pell's intelligence was unaware of a pedophile priest's offending
when two Victorian communities and local clergy knew about it.
The cardinal told the child abuse royal commission on Monday night that while he was on a Ballarat diocese committee that advised on the transfers of priests he was never told of the offending of pedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale in the 1970s.
