AUSTRALIA’S most senior Catholic Cardinal George Pell says he’ll work with seven other high ranking churchmen appointed by the Pope to a new Vatican panel to bring “better discipline” to the church and avoid “Vatileaks” type scandals.
Cardinal Pell, 71, is being hailed as a voice for Oceania on the permanent advisory group.
He was appointed by Pope Francis on Saturday night alongside six other cardinals and one Monsignor.
Cardinal Pell said in his new role he would help the Pope in “anyway I can”.
“I am very sure the Holy Father will be working for a better discipline,” Cardinal Pell told the ABC on Sunday.
