Hobart, Dec. 17 (CWNews.com) - An Australia archbishop has urged the Catholic faithful to recognize the guilty of an influential priest who entered a guilty plea on charges of sexual abuse, although the cleric has avoided a prison sentence.
Archbishop Adrian Doyle of Hobart, Tasmania, remarked: "Everyone, including all Catholics in this archdiocese, must accept that Philip Green committed the offenses which he acknowledge in court." Msgr. Green received a 3-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to indecent conduct charges.
