The Chaser Just Updated A Commemorative Cardinal George Pell Plaque

The Chaser Just Updated A Commemorative Cardinal George Pell Plaque

They wanted anyone who walked past the plaque to know about the disgraced Catholic's recent legal battle.

The Chaser group is known for causing a bit of a ruckus across Australia, however their latest prank looks like their masterpiece.

While they've been involved in an awkward 'Make A Wish Foundation' skit as well as getting arrested at the APEC Summit, everyone can rally around this new gag.

They found a commemorative plaque for disgraced Cardinal George Pell at Sydney's St. Mary's Cathedral and decided to give it a bit of an update.

The plaque in its original form just showed Australia's former highest ranking Catholic turned convicted child sexual abuser.

It read that he was the Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 to 2014 and The Chaser chucked on a little metal note to the plaque saying 'and convicted pedophile'.

The video of the prank has gone viral on social media, attracting thousands of likes, shares and comments. One person wrote: "Hope you used superglue."

Another added: "I hope all victims see this, and feel some joy in seeing we all stand with you."

A third said: "Excellent! Hope it the addition shines brightly to draw attention to his convicted pedophile status!"

Pell yesterday had his appeal application rejected by Victoria's Court of Appeal, meaning the six year maximum prison sentence handed down earlier this year will stay.

Justice Ferguson read the decision in front of a packed out room, saying: "It is important to stress at the outset that Cardinal Pell's conviction only concerns the five offences alleged to have been committed by him.

"The prosecution case was that the complainant was a witness of truth on the basis of whose evidence the jury could be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the events he described had occurred.

"Cardinal Pell's case was that the complainant's account was a fabrication or a fantasy that it was implausible and that in any event, the evidence of the opportunity witnesses, taken as a whole, combined to make the complainant's account either literally impossible or so unlikely, it's of no realistic possibility."

Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed that Pell would lose his Order of Australia as a result of his conviction.

9News reports Pell has one more stab at appealing the sentence given for sexually abusing two boys at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in 1996.

Pell's barrister says they can take the matter to the High Court and have everything questioned, which would be an unusual thing to do and pull off successfully.
