Weekly newspaper Illum reports that the Curia confirmed that the case revolving around allegations that a priest sexually abused a psychologically and mentally vulnerable person were investigated by the Church Response Team.
The Curia also said that the priest in question did not agree with the decision reached by the Response Team, and requested for this decision to be revised.
The confirmations emerged from a number of clarifications made by the Curia to Illum following revelations that a prominent priest in the Maltese Church is facing a number of police reports.
The most serous of these reports deals with accusations by a person who alleges that she was abused by the priest for sexual purposes despite being vulnerable both emotionally and psychologically.
