Cardinal Dziwisz skips court hearing in 20-million-zloty clergy abuse case

Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz failed to appear at a court hearing, sending an email excuse instead. The case involves Janusz Szymik, who is seeking 20 million złoty in damages from the Kraków Curia. Lawyer Artur Nowak, who represents abuse survivors, describes the harm as multi-layered involving hundreds of rapes, and says a close associate of Dziwisz is also implicated.
