In a statement — also referred to on Vatican Radio — Dominguez Brito quoted Francis as stressing the need for “truth” in the case.
On Tuesday, Dominguez Brito met with the Vatican’s top criminal prosecutor, Gian Piero Milano, and other Vatican officials to discuss the case after a visit to Wesolowski’s native Poland.
Wesolowski is the most senior Catholic official to be convicted by a Vatican body of sexually abusing minors. The 66-year-old nuncio, who was the Vatican’s ambassador to the Dominican Republic from 2008 to 2013, was recalled from his post last year and found guilty of sexual abuse by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He may face criminal charges.
