Protesters are planning to march to Sydney’s St Mary’s cathedral on the day of George Pell’s funeral to denounce his strident and long-held opposition to same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights.
Pell is expected lie in state at St Mary’s Cathedral before a requiem mass on 2 February, led by archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher. Pell will then be buried in the cathedral’s crypt in a private ceremony.
