In Australia, 60 Minutes was one of the first to expose the church's conspiracy of silence in the case of convicted paedophile Father Gerald Ridsdale. In 2002, Richard Carleton confronted then Archbishop George Pell with distressing evidence of Ridsdale's abuse. What followed: the accusation that Dr George Pell attempted to bribe a distressed young man, who'd been sexually assaulted by a priest - and that Pell did this to cover up a potential scandal and to protect his church. It's hard to imagine a graver charge. It was against one of the most powerful men in Australia, the then Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. And, as you'll see, there's more. Money offered to silence the family of two young girls, more tragic victims of a predator in the Catholic Church.
