Once the highest-ranking Catholic to be convicted with concealing sex abuse before his conviction was overturned, Emeritus Archbishop Wilson died unexpectedly on Sunday afternoon.

The Adelaide Archdiocese said while he had suffered ill health, his death was sudden

In 2018, Emeritus Archbishop Wilson became the highest-ranking Catholic in the world to be convicted with concealing child sex abuse, over paedophile priest Jim Fletcher's crimes in the Hunter Valley in the 1970s.but it was later quashed on appeal, with a court finding there were doubts the archbishop had been told about the abuse.

Church leaders paid tribute to Emeritus Archbishop Wilson, with Archbishop Coleridge saying he was "a true man of the Church and a good friend who suffered greatly"."Yet our friend always longed for his eternal destiny in such faith and hope. May he be welcomed by the Lord," he wrote on Twitter. It says despite the court case, Emeritus Archbishop Wilson was an important figure in introducing reforms to help the church respond to child sexual abuse.

What a trail of misery these people leave behind.

Don’t know who this guy is as I won’t read an article about a man that believes in a fairy, but I bet he has some kind of affiliation with child abuse one way or another. Safe bet?

One less pedo

Good.

are you going to get FergusonNews to interview some other pedophiles in the name of balance or is that just a privilege you reserve for the fash?

GoodRiddance

Seriously, why wouldn’t you headline the article “Convicted pedophile enabling Archbishop dies”?

Enjoy hell...

What's the point of the Catholic Church anymore? Literally none of their clergy believe what they preach, the bulk of them are practicing homosexuals, and the rest of them tacitly permit it through inaction.

One less pedo

Good riddance.

Bye Felicia.

Divide all of his assets and donate the funds to victims of child abuse charities..... The Jewish zombies can have his soul and whatever bile is left.....

Off to hell

RIP.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Philip Wilson opposed equality and was found guilty for covering up child rape. I'm not sorry.

Straight to hell. Do not pass Go

Looks 90 . Hard life ? Or good life ?
