George Pell is the most recognisable face of the Australian
Catholic Church. He was the Ballarat boy with the film-star looks
who studied at Oxford and rose through the ranks to become the
Vatican's indispensable 'Treasurer'. As an outspoken defender of
church orthodoxy, 'Big George's' ascendancy within the clergy was
remarkable and seemingly unstoppable. The Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Abuse has brought to light
horrific stories about sexual abuse of the most vulnerable and
provoked public anger at the extent of the cover-up. George Pell
has always portrayed himself as the first man in the Church to
tackle the problem. But questions about what the Cardinal knew, and
when, have persisted. The nation's most prominent Catholic is now
the subject of a police investigation into allegations spanning
decades that he too abused children. Louise Milligan is the only
Australian journalist who has been privy to the most intimate
stories of complainants. She pieces together a series of disturbing
pictures of the Cardinal's knowledge and his actions, many of which
are being told here for the first time. Conspiracy or cover-up?
Cardinal uncovers uncomfortable truths about a culture of sexual
entitlement, abuse of trust and how ambition can silence evil.

A discredited hit job on an innocent man
Mon, 14 Jun 2021 | Review
by: Johann D.
Considering that Cardinal George Pell was acquitted on all charges to Australia's High Court, the fantasy that he is a disgraced sexual predator has been thoroughly discredited. If the author had one iota of integrity, she would have withdrawn this book from publication.
