Sydney: Vatican finance chief George Pell “strenuously" denies all allegations of historic child sex offences and will return home to clear his name, Catholic officials said on Thursday.

“He said he is looking forward to his day in court and will defend the charges vigorously," the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney said in a statement.
