Three months after Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández said the Vatican had identified the judges who would form the tribunal in the canonical trial against Slovenian Fr. Marko Rupnik on charges of spiritual and sexual abuse, the judges have finally, formally been nominated. The Vatican says the five judges were nominated Oct. 9. “The panel of judges is composed of women and clerics who are not members of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and who hold no office within any of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia,” the note said.
