Show Notes

In this episode of Personally Speaking, Msgr. Jim Lisante is joined by Cardinal George Pell from Australia. Cardinal Pell is the former Secretary of the Economy at the Vatican and he also served on Pope Francis’ Council of Cardinals. On March 13, 2019, Cardinal Pell began what was meant to be six years in jail for “historical sexual assault offenses”. He endured more than thirteen months in solitary confinement before the Australian High Court voted 7-0 to overturn his original convictions. Cardinal Pell relives his prison experience in his book, “Prison Journal” and the third and final volume of the journal he wrote while in prison has just been released, titled, “Prison Journal: Volume 3: The High Court Frees an Innocent Man.” In this final volume of Cardinal Pell’s journal he recounts being freed from jail after his conviction was overturned, the support he received from all over the world, and how he made the decision to forgive his accusers.
