The Vatican has responded to the Court of Appeal's decision to deny George Pell's bid for freedom as Australia's highest ranking member of the Catholic Church failed to have his appeal against child sex convictions dismissed in court.

"He will continue to serve his sentence of six years' imprisonment," Chief Justice Anne Ferguson said.
