AN apology made by Australia’s most senior Catholic to those who suffered abuse at the hands of priests has been labelled a “minimal response” by a child sexual abuse victims group.
Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Cardinal George Pell apologised to those who have “suffered at the hands” of priests and religious teachers.
While not specifically mentioning allegations of child sex abuse by members of the clergy, Cardinal Pell said he was “deeply sorry” for the hurt that had occurred, calling it “completely contrary” to Christ’s teachings.
