2003	Bishop remands case to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

SUSTENANCE PROVIDED BY THE DIOCESE TO THE CLERIC
Because Fr. ABCD is incarcerated, the diocese, in charity, is providing him with a small stipend. Health coverage is provided by the National Prison Service.

RESPONSE/RECOURSE MADE BY THE CLERIC
Year
1970, 1975	Priest denies accusations saying students had a grudge against him.
2001	Admitted accusation of 2000 during therapy at XYZ Centre (released psychological report attached). Accepted limited ministry as convent chaplain.
2003	Sought hierarchical recourse against removal from office, claiming his relationship with (name of Victim D) does not fall under the provisions of Sacramentorum Sanctitatis tutela and that his prior delict is subject to prescription. Fr. JKL was appointed as his canonical advocate.

BISHOP’S VOTUM
(Cf. Appendix 27 of documentation) Given the overwhelming evidence of probable guilt, and the scandal occasioned by extensive press coverage of Fr. ABCD’s case, I would ask that a derogation from prescription be granted so that a penal judicial process may be initiated, or that he be dismissed from the clerical state ex officio et in poenam.
