Australia’s most senior Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, will appear before a Victorian child abuse inquiry.
Cardinal Pell, the archbishop of Sydney, and Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart will give evidence to the parliamentary inquiry’s next public hearings later this month.
They welcomed the opportunity to appear before the inquiry, a statement from the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne said.
Cardinal Pell and Archbishop Hart had been consistent in their support for the inquiry and remain committed to the church’s full co-operation with the inquiry, the statement added.
