Author: Louise Milligan Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 402 NEW REVELATIONS with new foreword by Tom Keneally. In 2018 Cardinal George Pell, Australia's most powerful Catholic, was found guilty of five sexual crimes against children and sentenced to six years' jail. He was the most senior Catholic figure in the world to be charged by police and convicted of child sex offences. George Pell was a Ballarat boy who studied at Oxford and rose through the Catholic Church ranks to become adviser to Pope Francis and Vatican treasurer. He was expelled from the Pope's inner circle. As an outspoken defender of Church orthodoxy, supported and championed by the powerful, Pell's ascendancy was seemingly unstoppable. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse brought to light horrific stories about abuse of the most vulnerable. Pell portrayed himself as the first man in the Catholic Church to tackle the problem. But questions about what the Cardinal knew, and when, persisted. Louise Milligan pieces together decades of disturbing activities highlighting Pell's actions and cover-ups. The book is a testament to the most intimate stories of complainants. Many people entrusted their secrets to be told here for the first time. Multi-award winning Cardinal reveals uncomfortable truths about a culture of entitlement, abuse of trust and how ambition can silence evil. Secondhand, Paperback.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell by Louise Milligan, winner of Walkley Book of the Year, acclaimed investigative journalist and witness in Cardinal George Pell's trial. Further details of Pell's crimes against his victims named by Louise Milligan in the book as The Kid and the Choirboy will be detailed. The edition will feature a new foreword by Tom Keneally who describes Cardinal as "a heartbreaking tribute to the children abused within Pell's circle." Louise Milligan said, "the conviction of George Pell of five counts of sexual crimes against two boys gives new resonance to the final line in my book, something a survivor of Ballarat once said to me: 'truth is the child of time'. No-one is celebrating this verdict, but it shows that while our legal system is at times imperfect, in this case it has delivered justice." Richard Tegoni, Acting CEO of MUP said, "The stories of endurance and suffering by victims now deserve to be read widely. MUP is proud to have published this landmark work that is one of the most important public interest books in MUP's 97-year history." In October 2016, MUP commissioned Louise Milligan to write Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell, after she had spent more than two years reporting on the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse. The book pieces together decades of disturbing activities and cover-ups by Australia's most powerful Catholic leader who became Vatican treasurer and adviser to Pope Francis. Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell delivers uncomfortable truths about a culture of sexual entitlement and abuse of trust within the Catholic Church. It is a chilling case study in how ambition can silence evil. 402 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.
