The Prince: Faith, Abuse and George Pell
By David Marr (Quarterly Essay/Black Inc., $19.99, softcover, 124 pages)
Set against a milieu of abysmal anguish and an ancient establishment in disorder, The Prince paints an absorbing picture of belief, allegiance and motivation.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Sydney, George Pell, has played a key role in the greatest challenge to face his church for centuries: the scandal of child sex abuse by priests.
