Juan Luis Cipriani was once the most influential religious figure in Peru as the former archbishop of Lima .

He was accused in 2018 of sexually abusing a teenager four decades ago , allegations that he denies.

The Vatican confirmed in January 2025 , in response to media reports, that a "penal injunction" had been imposed on the cardinal.

He can still attend meetings of cardinals convened after Francis 's death, in which they discuss Church priorities.
