SYDNEY—An Australian archbishop, the most senior Catholic cleric in the world found guilty of concealing child sex abuse in the church, said on July 4 he would appeal his conviction and resist pressure to resign.
Philip Wilson, 67, was convicted in May of not disclosing to police abuse by another priest, James Fletcher, after being told about it in 1976 by two victims, one of them an altar boy who told him inside the confessional.
