Published




The Vatican has sanctioned a retired Polish archbishop for covering up child sexual abuse, the archdiocese in Wroclaw said Saturday, the latest in a series of such sanctions in the devout country.

The case against Marian Golebiewski, 83, is just the latest sexual abuse scandal to hit the Catholic church in the predominantly Catholic EU member state.

“In the wake of formal notifications, the Holy See carried out proceedings regarding Archbishop Marian Golebiewski’s reported negligence in cases of sexual abuse of minors by certain priests,” the archdiocese said in a statement.
