Catholic Church too slow helping abuse victims, Vatican panel saysThe guilt of the late Cardinal Henryk Gulbinowicz is not in doubt, Archbishop Gintaras Grušas of Vilnius said, after local politicians questioned Church sanctions against the Polish prelate for sexual abuse.
Following an investigation, in November 2020 the Vatican barred Gulbinowicz from public appearances and ordered him to pay compensation to a fund for abuse victims. He died that month aged 97, and was denied burial in the cathedral in Wrocław, where he was archbishop from 1976 to 2004.
“In ecclesiastical processes, the Holy See is the highest instance and the last appellate institution, and its announced decision is final and unappealable,” Archbishop Grušas said on 10 October.
