Cardinal George Pell has hit back at everyone haters who think he's a lawless, slimy individual wrongfully weaseling his way out of returning to Australia to appear in person before the child sex abuse royal commission on account of a mystery 'illness'.

A statement from his office said he was most graciously willing to "meet with and listen to victims and express his ongoing support" *after* his testimony in Rome, adding that the past few days had seen a lot of "incorrect information" surface.

That right there would be an indirect ref to Aussie ledge Tim Minchin's A++ diss track 'Come Home (Cardinal Pell)' continues to go viral around the country, racking up more than 400K views on YouTube and helping raised 176K-plus for a GoFundMe campaign to fly Ballarat abuse survivors to Rome to hear Pell testify.

"Cardinal Pell has always helped victims, listened to them and considered himself their ally," the statement continued. "As an archbishop for almost 20 years he has led from the front to put an end to cover-ups, to protect vulnerable people and to try to bring justice to victims."


"He has appeared before the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry and twice before the royal commission, including for several days in person at the royal commission public hearing in Sydney in 2014.

"The Cardinal is anxious to present the facts without further delays. It is ultimately a matter for the royal commission to determine the precise arrangements for the provision of evidence by the Cardinal in Rome.

"The Cardinal will continue to cooperate with whatever arrangements the royal commission determines, so that he can be heard on the days and at the times recently set by the commissioner."
