Translated from Dutch NOS TV:
Australian archbishop found guilty of covering up sexual abuse
Today, 05:08
An Australian archbishop was found guilty of covering up abuse in the Catholic Church in the 1970s. Philip Wilson can be sentenced to two years in prison. He is the highest placed clergyman in the Catholic Church worldwide who has been found guilty of covering up abuse.
Wilson (67), Archbishop of Adelaide, was suspected of covering up the abuse of four boys by the priest James Fletcher in the 1970s. Wilson himself says he is innocent and has not known about the crimes.
He denied under oath last month that he learned in 1976 from two altar boys that they had been abused sexually. At that time, Wilson … was a priest-assistant. “I do not think I would forget that”, Wilson said in court. One of the victims stated that Wilson told him he was telling lies, because Fletcher was “a good guy”.
Fletcher was found guilty of nine cases of sexual abuse in 2004 and sentenced to eight years in prison. He died of a stroke in 2006 in prison.
What a SHOCKER!! Since the Catholic church is the biggest organized pedophile racket in the world- they have to cherry pick one or two and make it look like they really care. What a joke.

We don’t know yet what the outcome will be of the trial of Cardinal Pell, a still more important Australian clergyman than this archbishop. ex-#3 of the Vatican:

It makes no difference. They always pick a few now and again to keep up the old ” it’s just a few bad apples” BS when over 50% of priests in America alone have been accused of molesting or covering up the crimes. The pope called for ” Mercy ” for the thousands of priests he pardoned awhile back. The smokescreen is just to make people think he actually cares about it . I bet he is the biggest pedophile of them all.
