第四部分? Vatican leave梵蒂岡請假離任，為“否定”各項指控做斗爭
Last June, Cardinal Pell was charged in the state of Victoria with allegations involving "multiple complainants".Following a month-long preliminary hearing, a magistrate ruled that there was enough evidence for some charges to proceed to a jury.However, half of the original charges were struck out on the basis of insufficient evidence and doubt over the reliability of testimony.Cardinal Pell has strongly denied all accusations, saying last year: "I am innocent of these charges, they are false. The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me."The cleric has taken a leave of absence from the Vatican to fight the charges in his home country.
