A CONFIDENTIAL Vatican inquiry that criticised an alleged victim of child sex abuse was conducted by three senior serving Australian priests, two of whom now say the man may have been motivated by money.

As revealed yesterday by The Australian, the three clerics were appointed by Cardinal George Pell after the alleged victim spent more than a decade lobbying church leaders to consider his case.
