A date for Cardinal George Pell to give evidence at the Royal
Commission into Institutional Responses into Child Sex Abuse has been
released. Cardinal Pell is expected to appear on December
16 during the second week of the public hearing regarding Catholic
Church authorities in Ballarat at the County Court of Victoria.
Survivors have previously told the commission that it was inconceivable, given the widespread nature of child abuse in Ballarat, that Cardinal Pell and former Ballarat Bishop Ronald Mulkearns did not know about it at the time.
