Vatican conviction shuts ‘gibberish’ against church: Cardinal

Santiago.- Dominican Republic’s only cardinal and three catholic bishops on Friday called the Vatican’s decision to convict its former envoy in the country Jozef Wesolowski for the sexual abuse of minors, the best response on Justice.

Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez, Santiago archbishop Ramón Benito de la Rosa Carpio; San Francisco emeritus bishop Jesús María Moya and La Altagracia Archdiocese bishop Nicanor Peña said it was the best decision the Holy See could’ve made.

López Rodríguez said the conviction sends a message "to the enemies of the Catholic Church who continue talking gibberish,” adding that it was the best response possible.
