Cardinal George Pell will be the most senior Vatican figure ever to face a criminal trial
Cardinal George Pell, Australia’s most senior Catholic and the controller of the Vatican’s finances in Rome, has pleaded not guilty after he was ordered to stand trial over historical sexual offence allegations.
Pell has always denied the allegations against him, but it was the first time he had been required to enter a formal plea.
The decision came after a dramatic four-week committal hearing in March in which the Cardinal’s lead barrister, Robert Richter, said the accusers were lying and had a vendetta against Cardinal Pell.

I do not like thee Dr Pell
But this I know and know so well:
If you’re guilty burn in Hell –
I do not like thee Dr Pell.
That was one of my Granddad’s go-to poems.
Vile George Pell..

THe comedian tim Minchin has a great song “Come Home Cardinal Pell”
Well he looks guilty. I think we should have a full on witch trial.
Don’t be silly we’re not the Catholic Church.
