US EditionVatican says sanctions still in effect against Opus Dei cardinal following sex abuse allegations
- The Vatican confirmed that disciplinary sanctions remain in effect against Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne following sexual abuse allegations, including restrictions on his public activity and residence.
- Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni stated that sanctions were imposed after Cipriani retired in 2019 due to allegations against him, suggesting multiple claims.
- The sanctions imposed on Cipriani are similar to those on other church leaders accused of abuse, such as Archbishop Anthony Apuron and Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo.
- The allegations against Cipriani contribute to the turmoil in the Peruvian Church, which recently faced scrutiny due to the dissolution of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae movement following abuse revelations.
