George Pell funeral: St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney surrounded by … – Chicago Popular
There have been tense scenes outside the funeral of Cardinal George Pell as Catholic supporters clashed with protesters and one man was dragged away from the cathedral for blowing a whistle outside the service.
Australia’s most senior Catholic is being laid to rest on Thursday at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney after he died aged 81 from complications arising from hip replacement surgery in January.
Hundreds of protesters gathered over the road in Hyde Park before marching to the edge of the street carrying rainbow flags and banners.
They were allowed to stand in the middle of the road chanting ‘George Pell, go to hell’ for about five minutes, just a few metres from more than a thousand mourners outside the cathedral.
