Cardinal Pell arrives at Rome hotel early

ROME
The Australian

Cardinal George Pell has arrived at the Rome hotel where he will make his third appearance before the child sexual abuse royal commission.

A group of survivors will watch the cardinal, who was too ill to return to Australia for questioning, give his videolink testimony to the commission in Sydney from a conference room at the Hotel Quirinale from 8am Monday (Australian time).

The cardinal arrived at the hotel via a side gate three hours early.

Reporters outside the hotel say Cardinal Pell’s security team was heavy handed, pushing camera crews aside as he entered the hotel.
