THE Catholic Church was wrong to deny in court that a Sydney priest had sexually abused a child, despite a previous church inquiry finding the abuse took place, Cardinal George Pell's private secretary has said.

The former archbishop of Sydney has also moved to distance himself from the handling of the controversial case, saying it was "disproportionate to the objective and to the psychological state" of the abuse victim.
