Livingstone emphasizes in the book Cardinal Pell’s resilience in the face of adversity and how his unwavering faith served as a source of strength throughout his trials.
Two years after Cardinal George Pell’s unexpected death, a new biography on the larger-than-life Australian Church leader has been published that promises to serve as a definitive historical record of the cardinal’s life and achievements.
Titled Cardinal George Pell: Pax Invictus (“Peace to the Unconquered”), a longtime friend of the late prelate and correspondent for The Australiannewspaper, Tess Livingstone, has written a comprehensive and authoritative 38-chapter biography, including the many challenges Cardinal Pell faced during his last decades.
Building on Livingstone’s much shorter biography published in 2002 before he was made cardinal, Pax Invictus — words taken from an inscription on a Melbourne war memorial that Cardinal Pell had long admired — includes his early years in southern Australia as the son of a pub landlord when he aspired to be a professional Australian Rules Football player, as well as his formative time studying at Oxford University and the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome.
