The former Archbishop of Adelaide, Phillip Wilson, who was convicted but later acquitted on charges of covering up child sex abuse in NSW, has died aged 70.
He had suffered a series of health issues in recent years, including cancer, but his death was unexpected, the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide said on Sunday.
"We know that Philip was much loved by people across the country, but especially in the places he served - in Maitland-Newcastle, in Wollongong and here in Adelaide," the serving Archbishop of Adelaide Patrick O'Regan said.
"He made major contributions to the church and the wider communities in which he ministered."
