This definitive biography traces Cardinal George Pell's life from his childhood in Australia to his role as the Vatican treasurer; through his trials, unjust imprisonment, and exoneration to his untimely passing away on January 10, 2023.

Richly endowed with intellectual and athletic talent, strong faith in Christ, a solid family, and a great capacity for friendship, the young Pell turned down a professional Australian Rules football contract and instead entered the seminary in 1960. After his ordination to the priesthood at Saint Peter's Basilica in 1966 and completing a doctorate in Church history at Oxford, he served as a country curate, a Catholic university leader, a seminary rector, the archbishop of Melbourne, and the archbishop of Sydney. Made a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2003, he was chosen by Pope Francis as the prefect for the new Secretariat for the Economy in 2014.
