Apparently, many Australians believe that their Cardinal turned a blind eye to priestly abuse of children. Cardinal Pell claims to be to ill to travel to Australia, and is testifying via video link.

Tim Minchin wrote a song. The proceeds, some $200K, will be used to fly Australian victims to watch Pell testify in Rome. Eye to eye.

The song can be viewed for free for us cheapskates. It dares Pell to ‘come home.’

All of this is covered by this article in the Australian version of the Guardian.
