Vatican finance chief George Pell accused sections of the Australian
media of interfering in the course of justice Monday as he denied new
child sex abuse allegations. Pell, Australia's most senior Catholic cleric, was interviewed in
Rome by Australian police last October over historical sex assault
claims against him. No charges have yet been laid.
It coincided with the final stages of a long-running national inquiry into institutional responses to child sex abuse. Pell has appeared before the royal commission three times, once in person and twice via video-link. During his evidence, he admitted he "mucked up" in dealing with paedophile priests in Victoria state in the 1970s.
