Archbishop Philip Wilson resigns after sex abuse cover-up
Australian Archbishop Philip Wilson has resigned after being convicted of concealing child sex abuse.
In May, he was given a one-year sentence for failing to report allegations of abuse by a priest in the 1970s.
Wilson is the world's most senior Roman Catholic cleric to be convicted of the offence.
Earlier this month, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called on the Pope to sack him.
