Pope Francis moved Cardinal George Pell to Rome from Australia. Now, the pontiff must force Pell to testify before a governmental panel.
Serious allegations against Pell have repeatedly been raised – both through sworn testimony and through media interviews.
Francis has said – and Catholics all know – that to move forward, the truth about this scandal must be disclosed. Pell’s participation in the governmental inquiry is crucial if this is to happen.
And for the healing of Australian Catholics and victims, Pell must be questioned under oath about child sex abuse and cover up cases in his home country.
The pope must act and act now.
