The disgraced Australian Cardinal George Pell has lodged a last minute appeal with the High Court for his conviction over historical child sex offences.
Pell was found guilty last year of abusing two choir boys in 1996 when he was Archbishop of Melbourne.
The High Court is Pell's last avenue of appeal after the Court of Appeal last month upheld his conviction.
The ABC's Lucy Carter has been covering the case for several years and she joins Karyn Hay to look at the response to the appeal.
