Melbourne Archbishop Peter Comensoli has apologised to abuse victims and said people were calling the Church on Tuesday as news broke of Pell's guilty verdict. VATICAN INVESTIGATES PELLThe Vatican spokesman says that the Vatican office that handles sex abuse of minors has taken over the case involving Pell following his conviction for molesting two choir boys. The move was expected as the Church must conduct its own canonical investigation whenever there is a credible allegation of sex abuse.
