The Vatican’s ex-ambassador to the Dominican Republic has been convicted by a church tribunal of sex abuse. Monsignor Jozef Wesolowski was also deprived in holy orders on Friday, in the first such sentence handed down against a top papal representative.
Wesolowski was found guilty by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and sentenced to the stricter penalty possible against a cleric: laicization. He can no longer do priestly duties or present himself as a priest.
The ex-ambassador, who also faces other accuse from the criminal tribunal of Vatican City, can appeal.
