As about 150 parishioners filed into St Patrick’s Cathedral, the home of the Catholic Church in Melbourne, one question was on everyone’s mind: Would the historical sex abuse charges laid against Cardinal George Pell be addressed?

In the end, the issue was tackled head on at the Sunday morning Mass.

The charges were mentioned directly, while other things were said that perhaps also carried a message about Cardinal Pell and his upcoming court battle.

Sunday’s Mass was dedicated to Cardinal Pell, who continues to assert his innocence against charges of historical sex abuse.
