VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Vatican will open an investigation into French Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, who earlier this week admitted to abusing a 14-year-old girl decades ago.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said on Friday a preliminary investigation would start once the most suitable person with the “necessary autonomy, impartiality and experience” was found to carry it out.
