A group of angry Catholics is taking its campaign to have Cardinal George Pell removed from the Catholic church on the road – in a bright red caravan.
The small, as yet un-named group has collected more than 10,000 signatures on a petition calling for Pope Francis to sack Cardinal Pell over his response to child abuse within the church in Australia.
The caravan, emblazoned with the words “SACK PELL NOW”, will leave Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral on Tuesday and will be driven by volunteers across the state to gather more signatures.
It will return to Melbourne in February, when Cardinal Pell is due to appear before the royal commission into child sex abuse.
Ill health prevented him from travelling from the Vatican City to Melbourne for an expected appearance this week.
