French investigators have searched Catholic church offices in Lyon
amid allegations that a renowned cardinal and others had covered up a
priest’s sexual abuse of boy scouts.
The office of Cardinal Philippe Barbarin says in a statement Wednesday that the headquarters of the Lyon diocese were searched as part of a preliminary investigation into the case, and that church officials have handed over documents “to shed light on these painful events.”
