A Catholic priest has backed Cardinal George Pell's
recollections of a 1993 telephone call where he allegedly offered to buy

Ridsdale had been sexually abused by his uncle, Father Gerald Ridsdale.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-15/pell-crestfallen-after-phone-call-with-abuse-victim-priest-says/7029638
