In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety.

So there's total disregard for the victims and for the fact that you are going to have a whole new crop of victims in the next place. This is happening all over the world."

Archbishop Pell told the program that two girls abused by a phedophile priest in Victoria were offered compensation that required them not to publicly disclose the details of their abuse. However, at a media conference in Sydney today, Archbishop Pell says he was unprepared for the questioning and has denied the victims were expected to keep quiet under the terms of the payment ...

Archbishop admits money offer, (BBC version); SYDNEY (NSW) Australia: Just days after angrily denying that he tried to cover up sexual abuse of children by priests, Sydney Catholic Archbishop George Pell has been forced to admit offering victims thousands of dollars, in a programme aired on Australian television on Sunday night. Dr Pell was presented with a copy of a letter sent on his behalf offering nearly $30,000 (50,000 Australian dollars) to the family of two women who had been sexually abused as children by a priest. Initially he denied that allegation, however later admitted an offer had been made. The parents were warned that if they did not accept it, any legal action they might take would be "strenuously defended" by the Church, the Associated Press news agency reported. -- British Broadcasting Corporation, "Bishop admits abuse money offer,"
