The Pope' treasurer is being charged
>Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell will face trial over a charge of historical sexual abuse, a Melbourne magistrate announced on Tuesday.
>Pell was charged last June and given leave by Pope Francis from the Vatican to contest the charges in his native country. He is the most senior figure in the Holy See to ever face criminal charges.
>When allegations of historic sexual abuse by Cardinal Pell first came to light in 2016 the Pope stressed that "we must avoid a media verdict based on gossip."
