A former Church official jailed for his handling of abuse complaints is no longer housed at a US prison Pope Francis will visit later this year.
Msgr William Lynn is serving a minimum three year sentence for endangering children in Philadelphia archdiocese.
He had been held at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Center, while he appealed his 2012 conviction.
Pope Francis is scheduled to visit inmates at this prison in September.
But now Msgr Lynn is back at a state prison near Scranton.
Appeals courts have been split on whether he should have been convicted under a child-endangerment law and he has been in and out of prison.
