Cardinal George Pell tried to bribe a victim of pedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale, the royal commission has heard. David
Ridsdale, the nephew of Australia's worst pedophile priest, says he
told Cardinal Pell in 1993 about the abuse at the hands of his uncle.
He
told the royal commission on Wednesday Cardinal Pell, a family friend,
asked him: 'I want to know what it will take to keep you quiet.' Mr Ridsdale said Cardinal Pell started talking about his growing family and that he may soon have to buy a car or house.
