Cardinal Philippe Barbarin was convicted and then acquitted of covering up for a paedophile priest.
Archbishop of Lyon Philippe Barbarin is the most senior French priest to be caught up in a global paedophilia scandal that has seen clergy hauled before courts from Argentina to Australia. He was convicted last year of not reporting a priest for allegedly abused dozens of boy scouts in the 1980s and 1990s – but the conviction was overturned on appeal in January.
Hours after the ruling, Barbarin announced he would offer his resignation to the pope, who had refused an initial request pending the outcome of the cardinal’s appeal.
