Cardinal George Pell is expected to face two trials on sexual assault charges, an Australian court has heard.
The Vatican treasurer, 76, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
On Tuesday, a magistrate ordered him to stand trial. The allegations relate to the 1970s and 1990s, a court heard.
Cardinal Pell appeared at the County Court of Victoria on Wednesday, where prosecution and defence teams asked for the case to be split across two trials.
