Cardinal George Pell Commemorated in Rome a Year After His Passing | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

One year after his death, Cardinal George Pell was commemorated in Rome with a Mass. It was one year ago on January 10th, the cardinal was called home. Once Australia's highest-ranked Catholic cleric, a one-time financial advisor to Pope Francis and a member of most of the Vatican's dicasteries, Cardinal Pell's life and legacy was celebrated Tuesday night in Rome at the Domus Australia chapel. In his homily, Cardinal Muller remembered Pell as a man of great willingness to sacrifice for good, as well as a pastor who had a real commitment to marriage and family in the spirit of Christ. However, Muller recalled one of the hardest moments of Pell's career: a conviction on child sex abuse charges, spending 404 days in solitary confinement in Australia, only to have his convictions overturned. A year after his death, many of Cardinal Pell's teachings remain, in particular his legacy left to the Church and the faithful. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
