FOR 4 1/2 hours, Australia's most senior Catholic, George Pell, was grilled about the abuse of children by clergy.

At the end of his evidence, he said he was "fully apologetic and absolutely sorry" about the crimes that had been committed. He also agreed that his predecessor as archbishop of Melbourne, Frank Little, covered up a priest's abuses in a way that was "unChristlike".
