Cardinal George Pell's Life and Legacy Explored in Comprehensive Biography | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A new biography has been published about the Australian Cardinal George Pell, 2 years after his passing. Written by his longtime friend, Tess Livingstone, the book aims to serve as a historical record of the late Church leader's life and legacy. Titled "Cardinal George Pell: Pax Invictus", the longtime friend of the late prelate and correspondent for The Australian newspaper, Livingstone, has written a comprehensive and authoritative 38-chapter biography, including the many challenges Cardinal Pell faced during his last decades. Building on Livingstone's much shorter biography published in 2002 before he was made cardinal, Pax Invictus — words taken from an inscription on a Melbourne war memorial that Cardinal Pell had long admired — includes his early years in southern Australia as the son of a pub landlord when he aspired to be a professional Australian Rules Football player, as well as his formative time studying at Oxford University and the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome. EWTN Senior Vatican Analyst Frank Rocca had the opportunity to sit down with the author. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
