Breaking news that Cardinal Pell has been charged by the police, not clear at moment on what the charges are (i saw breaking news on work tv), but no doubt related to child sex offences, probably the covering up of said offences.
Third highest ranking catholic. Will he ever come back to Aus to face the music?
EDIT: Oh my, looks like actual sexual offences himself, not covering up.
