Australian Cardinal George Pell, prefect emeritus of the Secretariat for the Economy, died Tuesday evening, around 9 pm, in Rome. He was 81 years old. The Cardinal died following heart complications that arose after a long-planned hip operation. A few days ago he had concelebrated Benedict XVI's funeral in St Peter's Square.
In June 2017, the Cardinal had been remanded for trial and returned to his country to stand trial. Pope Francis had granted him a leave of absence to be able to defend himself against the charges. After a lengthy judicial hearing, the County Court of the State of Victoria had ordered the Cardinal's arrest, revoking the bail granted to him after his indictment in December 2018.
“It was Pell who drew up the outline of how we could move forward,” the Pope said. “He is a great man and we owe him so much.”
