| Archbishop Peter Comensoli says he saw Pell in prison about two months ago, as the former cardinal awaited the outcome of his appeal over his conviction for sexual abuse."My role, as a priest is to visit those in prison. So you know, I visited him, I visited other prisoners," Archbishop Comensoli told ABC Melbourne on Wednesday."He seems quite spiritually strong, I think it takes its toll. He's on 23 hour solitary confinement, really. He only has an hour outside of his actual cell per day."

27 Feb. 2019: The Archbishop of Melbourne says George Pell remains a friend and he would visit him in prison if the convicted child sex offender were sentenced to jail.
Speaking the day after it was revealed that Pell had been found guilty in December of five counts of child sexual abuse, Archbishop Peter Comensoli said Cardinal George Pell had been a "good teacher" to him."Cardinal Pell has been a friend of mine for a number of years, a good teacher to me, so I remain a friend and I don't shy away from that," he told radio station 3AW."But as the Archbishop of Melbourne, I separate that sort of sense of a personal relationship to how do I as Archbishop of Melbourne reach out to our own people, especially those being harmed by sexual abuse ... within the life of the church, especially the communities that have been harmed as well."
