The Vatican has described George Pell’s conviction as 'painful news', with Pope Francis confirming ‘precautionary measures’ already taken against the Cardinal will continue. That includes a ban on him having contact with children. But advocates for abuse victims say there’s no reason to wait for his appeal to be heard to kick him out of the church. Praba Maheswaran has the story in Tamil, written for SBS News.
