Cardinal Pell thanks Pope Francis after Cardinal Becciu resigns
.- Cardinal George Pell thanked Pope Francis Friday following the dramatic resignation of Vatican Cardinal Angelo Becciu.
In a statement sent to CNA Sept. 25, the former prefect of the Vatican Secretariat for the Economy said: The Holy Father was elected to clean up Vatican finances. He plays a long game and is to be thanked and congratulated on recent developments.
The cardinal issued the statement from Sydney, Australia, where he is living after his acquittal by Australia s High Court in April on charges of sexual abuse. He spent 13 months in solitary confinement after he was given a six-year prison sentence following a trial in Melbourne, Victoria.
I hope the cleaning of the stables continues in both the Vatican and Victoria, Pell said.
Becciu resigned Sept. 24 as prefect of the Vatican s Congregation for the Causes of Saints and from the rights extended to members of the College of Cardinals.
