Sexual abuse in Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz archdiocese participant Edgardo Gabriel Storni
Earlier Vatican investigation
In 1994, archbishop Edgardo Gabriel Storni (6 April 1936 – 20 February 2012) was subject to an investigation ordered by the Vatican, led by Monsignor José María Arancibia, after allegations of sexual abuse on 47 young seminarians, who were questioned, together with some of their family members, by Arancibia and a psychologist, at the home of Monsignor Estanislao Karlic in Paraná. Soon after the scandal broke out, in February 1995 Storni employed his contacts with then-Apostolic Nuncio Ubaldo Calabressi to arrange a trip to the Vatican. There he was received and ratified in his post by Pope John Paul II. The investigation was set aside.
