Ballarat clergy abuse victims hope they can watch Cardinal George Pell as he gives testimony from Rome in the child abuse royal commission.
Cardinal Pell has offered to “meet with and listen to victims and express his ongoing support” after giving evidence at the child abuse royal commission via videolink in Rome.
David Ridsdale, a member of the Ballarat Child Abuse Survivors group that wants to go to Rome to hear the evidence, says a meeting with the cardinal would be pleasant.
But he said he knew no survivor who had labelled any dealing with Cardinal Pell or the Church-instigated Melbourne Response “a positive experience”.
