Compromise Cardinal Sapieha. Security documents were probably forged
Polish bishops took over three years to establish a commission to investigate sexual abuse of minors by clergy. Journalists from "Rzeczpospolita" began exploring this issue in 2021 using state archives. Investigations into Cardinal Karol Wojtyła's stance on pedophilia led to Cardinal Adam Stefan Sapieha, who allegedly abused seminarians. Recent documents suggest that accusations against Sapieha may be dubious and possibly forged, linked to a security officer. The scandal began with reports from "Gazeta Wyborcza" and involved various journalists, raising questions about the credibility of sources and the historical context of the allegations. The investigation revealed inconsistencies in testimonies and the involvement of security forces in potentially fabricating evidence against Sapieha.
