I don't know about the current law, but the new vetting and barring rules the CRB (or Disclosure Scotland north of the border) will be working to from next year will certainly make it an offence not to pass on such information about an employee. Anyone, Catholic bishops included, who gets caught trying to cover up something like this in future is going to be liable to a sizeable fine at the very least, and quite possibly some jail time.
