Pressure mounts on Gozo bishop Mario Grech after failing to execute Vatican’s order to defrock paedophile priest. A Gozitan priest who was defrocked by the Vatican in 2013 has not yet
been notified of his dismissal by the Gozo bishop, Mario Grech.
Grech’s dithering has led to calls for his resignation, with
a number of Gozitan priests reporting the bishop’s misconduct to the
Vatican.
MaltaToday is informed that in March 2013, the Vatican had
upheld its original decision to defrock Dominic Camilleri, who in 2003
was first investigated by the Maltese church over the sexual abuse of
minors.
