Cardinal Stanis\u0142aw Dziwisz testified as a witness at the Regional Court in Krak\u00f3w during a high-profile civil trial concerning 20 million PLN in compensation from the Krak\u00f3w Archdiocese. <\/p>\n
The Regional Court in Krak\u00f3w held a hearing for Cardinal Stanis\u0142aw Dziwisz, who testified as a witness in the ongoing trial regarding 20 million PLN in compensation from the Krak\u00f3w Archdiocese. The hierarch stated that he has no knowledge of the case because he was serving as the personal secretary to John Paul II in the Vatican at the time.<\/p>\n
The trial for 20 million PLN in compensation from the Krak\u00f3w Archdiocese and the parish in Mi\u0119dzybrodzie Bialskie has been ongoing before the Regional Court in Krak\u00f3w since mid-June. It was brought by Janusz Szymik, who was sexually abused as a child between 1984 and 1989 by the then-parish priest, Rev. Jan W.<\/p>\n
Cardinal Stanis\u0142aw Dziwisz is one of the witnesses in the trial. According to the plaintiff’s attorneys, he may have known about the actions of Rev. Jan W. because he received signals and requests for intervention regarding the matter from Father Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski.<\/p>\n
During the nearly hour-long testimony, the retired metropolitan of Krak\u00f3w was asked by the plaintiff’s attorney whether he knew Rev. Jan W. Cardinal Dziwisz stated that he recognized him because he knew all the priests in the Krak\u00f3w Archdiocese, but he had no personal or social contact with them.<\/p>\n
He also testified that he has no knowledge of the circumstances under which Rev. Jan W. became the secretary of the then-metropolitan of Krak\u00f3w, Cardinal Franciszek Macharski, because he was in Rome at the time. The hierarch stated that as the pope’s secretary in the Vatican for 27 years, he did not get involved in and had no way of knowing what was happening in the diocese due to his other duties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
