CARDINAL George Pell has been met at the royal commission into child sex abuse by people demanding that he tell the truth.
The cardinal arrived in a white car just before 9am at Governor Macquarie Tower in Sydney.
As he was driven into the car park, a placard saying “tell the truth to the Royal Commission” was pressed up against the window of his car.
Jenny Brownley from Care Leavers Australia Network (CLAN) practically stopped the car and made sure the cardinal, sitting in the passenger’s seat, saw her message.
At the entrance to the car park, a sign reminded the church that children had suffered at the hands of its priests.
On the Farrar Place side of the tower, where the hearing is underway on the 17th floor, the CLAN group added extra signage to the red placards calling on the Catholic Church to own up to its “sins”.
