Australia’s most senior Catholic will come before Victoria’s parliamentary inquiry into child sexual abuse later this month.
A spokesman for Cardinal George Pell says he is scheduled to appear on May 27 to give evidence about the church’s handling of allegations of abuse by its clergy while he was the Archbishop of Melbourne.
Cardinal Pell’s successor in Melbourne, Archbishop Denis Hart, will give evidence on May 20.
The committee of inquiry is examining the record of religious and non-government organisations.
