Polish bishop convicted of failing to report clergy abuse of minors

Polish Bishop Andrzej Jez ​was convicted on Thursday of ​failing to notify authorities ‌about the sexual ​abuse of minors by two priests from his diocese, in the highest-profile case of its ‌kind involving a Catholic Church leader in Poland.
