French Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, who received a six-month suspended jail sentence for failing to report sex abuse by a priest under his authority, is to meet Pope Francis.
The Pope has previously defended the cardinal, saying in 2016 that his resignation before a trial would be “an error, imprudent”.Francis said in February that “no abuse must ever be covered up, as has happened in the past”, or be under-estimated. His trial comes as Francis battles to restore faith in the Church following a slew of abuse scandals that have spanned the globe, from Australia to Chile and the United States.
