Archbishop ‘must quit’

THE Catholic Archbishop of Adelaide Philip Wilson is facing unprecedented calls from across the political arena to resign as he prepares to challenge his conviction for concealing child sexual abuse.

The most senior Catholic official in the world to be convicted of concealing child abuse is likely to serve his 12-month sentence in home detention. Wilson, 67, plans to appeal.

SA Premier Steven Marshall has joined Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition leader Bill Shorten in calling for Wilson’s resignation.
