Pope Francis removes Cardinal George Pell, 77, from his inner circle as he faces historic child sex offence charges

Pope Francis has removed George Pell and another prominent cardinal from his inner circle after they were tainted by scandals ahead of a Church-wide meeting on the 'protection of minors' next year. The Australian cardinal, 77, and Chilean Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz were both removed from the so-called C9 Council of Cardinals, an international advice body set up by Francis himself, the Vatican said on Wednesday.
