French cardinal PhilippeBarbarin convicted over sex abuse cover-up
LYON, FRANCE - The archbishop of Lyon, the most senior French Catholic cleric caught up in the paedophilia scandals that have rocked the church, was convicted of helping covering up abuse and handed a six-month suspended jail term on Thursday .
Barbarin, 68, faced longstanding allegations from victims' groups that he failed to report a priest under his authority to police after learning of abuse which took place in the 1980s and 90s. During the trial, victims accused Barbarin of being aware of the abuse allegations from at least 2010 and then trying to cover up the scandal, under orders from the Vatican, from 2015.
