Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson was
sentenced Tuesday to twelve months in jail for covering up for a
child sex abusing priest.
Wilson, 64, was found guilty in May by a court in Newcastle
north of Sydney.
The archbishop, deputy head of the Australian Bishops
Conference, is the highest Christian prelate in the world to be
convicted of such crimes.
He was found guilty of covering up the sex abuse of four
minors by Father James Fletcher in the 1970s.
