Anti-Catholic graffiti relating to the church’s handling of child sex abuse cases has been scrawled across a church building and a court in Melbourne.
Police said one of the abusive messages named the former Archbishop of Melbourne, Cardinal George Pell.
They were written on the Victorian County Court and a building belonging to the Melbourne Archdiocese.
Court workers tried to scrub off the graffiti this morning and have erected black plastic to cover what remains.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is using the County Court building to hold hearings into the way the Melbourne Archdiocese responded to child sexual abuse complaints.
