Allegations continue to mount against Cardinal George Pell at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse in Ballarat.

Cardinal Pell has again been accused of deliberately turning a blind eye to child molestation offences within the church, furthering calls that he should return to the country from The Vatican.

Bravehearts founder Hetty Johnston told 4BC afternoons that Cardinal Pell should return and face the court.

“These are serious allegations and they need to be dealt with. Otherwise the fog lies around the Catholic Church and those in it”

“Cardinal Pell needs to clear his name”

Cardinal Pell has agreed to return to Australia if requested by the royal commission, alternatively he could return of his own accord.
