Il cardinale scagionato (e gli altri)

In brief

A Quebec Supreme Court judge ruled in favor of Cardinal Marc Ouellet in a defamation lawsuit, finding that he was falsely accused of sexual violence. The court ordered Pamela Groleau to pay 100,000 dollars for violating the cardinal's right to honor.

The ruling, published on August 31, stems from allegations made by Groleau during a class action lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Quebec. Ouellet, who served as the prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops from 2010 to 2023, began these legal proceedings in 2022 following the accusations of misconduct and abuse.
