There has been an angry reaction after a Pope Francis tweet appeared to offer his support to Cardinal George Pell.

The Pope made comments in his Tuesday morning mass, just hours after the High Court overturned
Pell’s convictions for the sexual abuse of children.

He then repeated similar comments on Twitter, comparing the suffering of those wrongly accused to the persecution of Jesus.
