Cardinal George Pell, Sydney and child sex abuse

If the report on today's RTE News at One is accurate on what has gone on in the Australian Catholic Church, especially in Sydney, one  is forced to ask how can Cardinal George Pell be in such a prominent job at the Vatican.

The programme was discussing the retirement of Cardinal Sean Brady.

Marie Collins was interviewed on the programme as was Brendan Boland, both victims of clerical child sex abuse.

Surprising no representative of the church was interviewed on the programme. And not a word from the Vatican representative in Ireland, Papal Nuncio Charles Brown.
