Cardinal Pell's actions during his time in the Melbourne archdiocese and
Ballarat diocese have been raised in submissions to the child abuse
royal commission. The child sex abuse royal commission is being urged to reject
evidence from Cardinal George Pell, who has been accused of failing to
stop a Melbourne pedophile priest.
Lawyers for the commission argue there are no grounds to accept Cardinal Pell's evidence that he was intentionally deceived by Catholic Education Office about abuse carried out by Doveton parish priest Peter Searson in the 1980s.
