CWN Editor's Note: The Vatican Court of Appeal has convicted a young Italian priest of “corrupting minors,” overturning the ruling of a lower court that had found insufficient evidence to convict.

Father Gabriele Martinelli was found guilty of abusing a younger student at a pre-seminary in Rome. He was sentenced to a prison term of 2.5 years.
