A voice from Sydney
George Pell | 19 April 2010
Cardinal George Pell, of Sydney, must know better than almost anyone else in the Catholic Church about the problem of sex abuse. He helped set up a rigorous system to deal with it in Australia.

In this video he reflects on the controversy surrounding Pope Benedict.

Michael Cook | 19 April 2010
Today is the fifth anniversary of the election of Joseph Ratzinger to the Papacy.

Is Benedict the problem or the solution?
Michael Cook | 05 April 2010
Another straw in the wind? It may be becoming clear to the media – at least to more open-minded journalists – that Benedict XVI is the solution, not the problem, to the crisis of sex abuse in the Church. As Archbishop Vincent Nichols told the BBC in London, "The pope won't resign. Frankly, there's no strong reason for him to do so. In fact it's the other way around: he is the one above all else in Rome who has tackled these things head on."
Lull in the storm
Michael Cook | 05 April 2010
Is the tide of opinion turning? An editorial in Monday’s London Telegraph points out that although Pope Benedict did not directly mention the sex abuse scandal in his Easter Sunday sermon, “we know what he thinks of the scandal from his pastoral letter to Irish Catholics a fortnight ago”.
