More about the book

The narrative explores the rise and fall of George Pell, a prominent figure in the Australian Catholic Church, who has faced serious allegations of sexual abuse. As an influential defender of church doctrine, his reputation was built on a façade of addressing abuse within the Church. However, the Royal Commission's revelations have sparked public outrage over a pervasive culture of cover-up. Journalist Louise Milligan reveals disturbing accounts from victims, questioning Pell's knowledge and actions, and examining the broader implications of ambition and silence in the face of abuse.
