CARDINAL George Pell has apologised to the Victorian parents of two girls repeatedly abused by a Catholic priest while they were in primary school.
Anthony Foster has described Cardinal Pell, whom he met while the cardinal was archbishop of Melbourne, as having a sociopathic lack of understanding.
Cardinal Pell said when he met with the Fosters his only intention was to listen and try to help but he did not recall exactly what was said.
“I am sorry for whatever I did to upset them at this meeting,” Cardinal Pell said in a written submission to Victoria’s abuse inquiry.
“I am very sorry for the abuse suffered by Emma and Katie Foster and for the suffering of the Foster family.”
