Revisiting a Conversation with Cardinal Pell
Last night, we were shocked to hear the news of the death of Cardinal George Pell, who suffered a heart attack following hip surgery. He was a champion of orthodoxy in the modern Church, but tragically had to spend more than 400 days in prison following a false conviction of sex abuse. During that time he wrote extensive reflections on his experience, and he joined us to talk about it in May 2021. We revisit that conversation today
