French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Tuesday urged a
cardinal, accused of covering up the sexual abuse of young boys by a
priest, to “take responsibility” in a case which has deeply embarrassed
the French Church.
Cardinal Philippe Barbarin hit back, insisting at a press conference: “I have never covered up pedophilia.” The latest abuse scandal to hit the Catholic Church erupted when priest Bernard Preynat was charged in January, after victims came forward with claims he had sexually abused Scouts between 1986 and 1991.
