Australia's highest court to rule on Pell's appeal next week
Australia's High Court will deliver its ruling next week on whether to overturn the convictions of Cardinal George Pell, the most senior official in the Catholic Church ever to be convicted of child sex abuse.
The 78-year-old Pell is one year into a six-year sentence for molesting two 13-year-old choirboys in Melbourne's St Patrick's Cathedral while he was the city's archbishop in the late 1990s.
