Paris archbishop offers to resign over ‘unclear’ relationships
He is the latest Catholic bishop to do so. The former archbishop of Lyon, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, offered to resign in 2019 after a French court convicted him of failing to report a pedophile priest. Francis refused to accept his resignation pending the outcome of Barbarin’s appeal, although he accepted it the following year, by which time Barbarin was acquitted.
