George Pell knew about pedophile priest: education officer

A number of Catholic education officers have hit back at claims Cardinal George Pell was not informed about notorious pedophile Peter Searson in the late 1980s.
Monsignor Thomas Doyle told the royal commission today Cardinal Pell "was wrong" when he said the Catholic Education Office deliberately kept him in the dark about Searson's behaviour. Cardinal Pell was Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne in 1989 and in charge of education when complaints flooded in about bizarre and abusive behaviour of Searson at the parish of Doveton.
