Vatican Launches Investigation into Sexual Abuse Allegations in Spanish Church
———————————————
The Vatican has opened an investigation into a Catholic bishop in Spain following allegations of sexual abuse, according to a report by Reuters cited by the Shia Waves Agency.

The inquiry comes after the Spanish Catholic Church announced a broader nationwide investigation into sexual abuse within its institutions.

The Spanish Bishops’ Conference confirmed that the cleric under scrutiny has firmly denied the accusations.

According to church officials, the Vatican-led investigation aims to examine the claims of abuse, identify any perpetrators, and develop measures to prevent similar cases in the future.

The Vatican emphasized that protecting the dignity of victims and ensuring transparency in the investigative process remain top priorities in handling the case.
