This week, Australia found out Cardinal George Pell has been convicted of sexually abusing two choirboys when he was archbishop of Melbourne in the late 1990s. He's the most senior Catholic in the world to be found guilty of child sex abuse.
The news is devastating. For young Catholics, it raises a number of questions about their faith.
How should the Catholic church respond? Can the church recover? Would we be better off without it?
We wanted to hear firsthand how some of those people are tackling them.
- Seb calls himself a 'cradle Catholic' ... the Church is a huge part of his life and he thinks celibacy and the seal of confession should stay.
- Sophia believes in God, but her faith in the Church has deteriorated so much ... she wouldn't be concerned if it collapsed.
- Matthew grew up in the underground Catholic Church in Saudi Arabia. He helps run a Rainbow service for LGBTQI+ people in Sydney.
The three sat down with Marc Fennell in Sydney. Check out the discussion above.
