George Pell says he was a "scapegoat" for the "terrible crimes committed in the church's name", during his world exclusive interview on Sky News.
In the wide-ranging sit-down with Andrew Bolt, the acquitted Cardinal revealed his legal bills were largely paid by wealthy benefactors, while he kicked in his own superannuation to cover the costs.
George Pell spoke in detail about his time in prison - describing it as a "grim place" where he shared a unit with ice addicts.
Meanwhile, New South Wales Police visited the Sydney seminary where Cardinal George Pell was staying for a pre-arranged meeting to discuss security protocols.
Police are reportedly investigating social media threats made against the 78-year-old.
