Ex-church official housed at prison pope plans to visit

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia prison Pope Francis plans to visit during his U.S. trip houses a former church official jailed for his handling of priest sexual-abuse complaints.

Monsignor William Lynn is serving a minimum three-year sentence after a jury found he endangered children in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Lynn, 64, is currently housed at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Center while he appeals his conviction. It's not clear whether he still will be there for the pope's Sept. 27 visit or whether he would be among the inmates picked to meet with him.
