The Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney says it will not pay its former archbishop Cardinal George Pell’s legal costs as he returns to Australia to face charges relating to historical sexual offences.
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher described Pell — his predecessor in the Archdiocese — as a man of “integrity … high faith and high ideals, a thoroughly decent man”.
“While the Archdiocese will assist with the Cardinal’s accommodation and support as it would for any of its bishops or priests, it is not responsible for the Cardinal’s legal bills arising from these matters.”
