In a statement, the Cardinal said he abused a14-year-old girl 35 years ago while he was a parish priest.

He is now withdrawing from his functions.

A year ago, a panel found evidence of thousands of pedophiles operating in the French Catholic city for decades.

All 11 bishops face prosecution or disciplinary action in the church.
