Cardinal George Pell, a polarizing figure in the Catholic Church who fell from grace amid sex-abuse charges that were later overturned, has died. He was 81.
Cardinal George Pell, who cast an imposing shadow over the Roman Catholic Church from the gold-mining town he grew up in, across Australia and to Rome before a fall from grace in his 70s, has died. He was 81.
“It is with deep sadness that I can confirm His Eminence, George Cardinal Pell, passed away in Rome in the early hours of this morning,” Anthony Fisher, archbishop of Sydney, wrote in a post on Facebook. “This news comes as a great shock to all of us.”
