CARDINAL George Pell is alleged to have told a fellow cleric that
notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale was “r--ting boys again”,
according to contested evidence before the royal commission.
In 1983, the then rising priest in the Catholic Church was allegedly overheard making the comment to Father Frank Madden at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ballarat a decade before Ridsdale was first charged.
