Pope Francis declines to accept resignation of French cardinal convicted of failing to report pedophile. Pope asks him to do what he thinks is best and cardinal decides to take time away.
Pope Francis attends an audience with personnel and families of the Italian Court of Auditors in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican Monday, March 18, 2019.
Barbarin had traveled to the Vatican on Monday to present his resignation following the March 7 verdict and six-month suspended sentence he received. “The Holy See repeats its closeness to victims of abuse, to the faithful of the archdiocese of Lyon and the French church who are living in a particularly difficult moment,” Gisotti said.
Barbarin has appealed the conviction, which could have influenced Francis’ decision to not immediately accept his resignation. Francis has been loath to take such measures lest they influence the outcome of trials.
