Bishop William Lee of Waterford and Lismore Diocese was
today Tuesday October 1, relieved of his duty over child molestation scandal. Pope
Francis has accepted the resignation of an Irish bishop who admitted two years
ago to sheltering a priest accused of child abuse.
William Lee was relieved of his functions under article 401
of the Code of Canon Law, which covers serious offenses, the Holy See said in a
statement.
According to media reports at the time, Lee admitted in 2010
that his response to child abuse allegations by Irish clergy in the mid-1990s
had been “seriously inadequate”.
