Cardinal George Pell WILL have to give evidence at royal commission into horrific child abuse in Victoria
Cardinal George Pell will be asked to give evidence at the royal commission into child sex abuse in the second of the Ballarat hearings.
Cardinal Pell wrote to the Royal Commission last month saying he was willing to appear before the inquiry in Australia.
In a statement on Monday the royal commission said international residents could not be summonsed to appear at a hearing.
But because Cardinal Pell has expressed his intention to fully co-operate with the investigations they would ask him to give evidence.
