Opus Dei cardinal acknowledges Vatican sanctioned him after abuse allegation but denies wrongdoing

Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne acknowledged that the Vatican imposed sanctions on him in 2019 after an allegation of sexual abuse, but he denied any wrongdoing.
Cipriani, the first cardinal of Opus Dei, stated that the allegations are 'completely false' and asserted, 'I haven’t committed any crime.'
The Vatican's action follows a scandal involving the Peruvian-based movement Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, which was dissolved after a Vatican investigation uncovered abuse and mismanagement.
Cipriani led the Peruvian church during the time of the first allegations against Sodalitium, which were publicly aired in 2000 and formally reported in 2011.
