THE world will be watching when Australia’s most senior Catholic faces Victoria’s child sex abuse inquiry tomorrow, a victim’s advocate says.
Co-founder of the Care Leavers Australia Network (CLAN) Leonie Sheedy says she wants to see Cardinal George Pell face up to crimes committed against children by members of the Catholic church.
CLAN will protest outside parliament before Cardinal Pell appears as the final witness at the inquiry, she says. The protest will include a poster depicting him with pedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale labelled “mates”.
It’s pressure like this that victims’ father Anthony Foster hopes will open cracks in Cardinal Pell’s armour.
