Cardinal Philippe Barbarin failed to report pedophilia accusations against another priest.
By James McAuley James McAuley Foreign correspondent focusing on French and European politics and culture Email Bio Follow March 7 at 6:05 AM PARIS — A French court convicted on Thursday Cardinal Philippe Barbarin for failing to report accusations of pedophilia against another priest to local authorities.
Former archbishop and cardinal Theodore McCarrick was removed from the priesthood last month over sex abuse allegations, and Pope Francis convened a major Vatican summit that promised an “all-out battle” against the phenomenon, although the nature of potential policy changes remains unclear. He stands accused of having covered up the crimes of a subordinate, the Reverend Bernard Preynat. Preynat’s alleged victims, Boy Scouts from the Lyon diocese, say the church hierarchy protected him for years. The court agreed, and Barbarin was found guilty for not reporting a slew of incidents in recent decades. Preynat will stand trial later this year.
