The Vatican’s former Minister of the Economy and Finance, Cardinal George Pell, 79, is expected in Rome this week, confirmed the diocese of Sydney (Reuters’ Katrina Lee) on September 28, 2020, after the news appeared in the Herald Sun (Andrew Bolt).
However, the Holy See has not confirmed the news and, for the time being, has not announced a meeting with Pope Francis.
This will be the Cardinal’s first visit to Rome, after an absence of more than three years, and after being acquitted of charges of sexual abuse in Australia.
