THE nation's most powerful Catholic, George Pell, has revealed he is deeply ashamed at the child sex abuse committed within the church, but denied there was sufficient evidence to justify a royal commission into these assaults.

Cardinal Pell told The Weekend Australian yesterday he accepted children were abused by priests, and that this was then covered up by other clergy, but these crimes were largely historic and not part of a systemic failing within the church.
