Commission counsel criticises former Bishop of Melbourne for 'failing to exercise proper care' for children in Doveton. Cardinal George Pell has been criticised by counsel assisting
Australia's Royal Commission over his part in the Catholic Church's
response to abuse by clergy and religious in his home town of Ballarat,
when he was a consultor to the bishop, and in Melbourne, where he was an
auxiliary bishop.
On 31 October, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse published written submissions for its public hearings into the response of the Church to allegations of abuse against clergy and religious in the two Victorian cities - including those of counsel assisting the Commission and the Cardinal.
