Canberra: Disgraced Catholic Cardinal George Pell has been given a final avenue for appeal against his convictions for molesting two choirboys in a Melbourne cathedral in the 1990s.
In a brief procedural statement, Justice Michelle Gordon said Australia’s High Court had granted the 78-year-old former Vatican treasurer special leave to appeal his convictions for child abuse.
He is currently serving a six-year sentence.
