Ex-Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo has reiterated his support for Cardinal George Pell on social media and has asserted that his belief in Pell’s innocence “is a matter of conscience. It is not based on blind faith.”
A former treasurer of the Catholic Church, Pell is the most senior official of the Church to be convicted of child sexual abuse. In June 2017, Pell was charged in Victoria, Australia, with multiple historical sexual assault offences; he denied all charges.
