La argucia para cerrar casos de abusos sin juicio ni reparación que salió de Doctrina de la Fe
A legal defense attorney for victims of sexual abuse by clergy claims the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith uses a method to end abuse investigations without a trial, a formal declaration of facts, or hearing from the victims.
According to InfoVaticana, this process allows the Church to close cases without issuing a sentence or providing public records of the proceedings. The attorney, who has provided legal defense for several victims, reports that this practice prevents victims from receiving reparation and leaves no public trace of the abuse.
