MONTREAL — There is not enough evidence to open a formal church investigation into sexual assault allegations against Quebec Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Pope Francis said Thursday.
F., one of the cardinal's accusers, wrote a letter to Pope Francis in January 2021 regarding Ouellet and was informed that the Pope appointed Father Jacques Servais to investigate her allegations.
Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See press office. said that Servais looked into the matter and found "no grounds to open an investigation." Bruni said that following consultations, "Pope Francis declares that there are insufficient elements to open a canonical investigation for sexual assault by Cardinal Ouellet against the person F."
