Cardinal Philippe Barbarin of Lyon, France, is under pressure to
resign after acknowledging that he allowed a priest to remain in parish
ministry after learning that the priest had been accused of sexual
abuse.
The cardinal revealed that he first learned of accusations against Father Bernard Peynat "around 2007-2008." The allegations against the priest dated back to the years between 1986 and 1991. At the time, Cardinal Barbarin said, he was assured that there had been no new charges since 1991.
