Adelaide Archbishop Philip Wilson was found guilty in May of failing to report to police the abuse of two altar boys by a paedophile priest in the 1970s.
Today, the 67-year-old's been sentenced to 12 months detention, with a minimum non-parole period of six months.
It's expected he'll serve the term at home.
