What happened?

Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, the Archbishop of Lyon, has been found guilty of failing to report alleged sexual abuse by a priest in his archdiocese. The cardinal received a six-month suspended sentence. He plans to appeal. He has said that, while his response to allegations against an abusive priest was “inadequate”, he had not concealed them. The prosecutor had recommended that Cardinal Barbarin be acquitted, but a judge found him guilty nevertheless.
