Statement

ADELAIDE (AUSTRALIA)
Archdiocese of Adelaide

May 23, 2018

By Archbishop Philip Wilson

I have taken the opportunity overnight to consider His Honour’s reasons.

I am still considering those reasons together with my legal advisors. While I do so, it is appropriate that, in the light of some of his Honour’s findings, I stand aside from my duties as Archbishop.

I am now putting in place the necessary administrative arrangements to ensure that the affairs of the Archdiocese are managed responsibly. I therefore intend to step aside as of Friday this week once those arrangements are in place.
