Smurtu prieš vaikus apkaltintas kunigas neteko rano
Priest accused of violence against children loses rank
Smurtu prieš vaikus apkaltintas kunigas neteko rano
Popiežius patenkino smurtu prieš vaikus kaltinamo lietuvių dvasininko Tado Švedavičiaus prašymą ir atėmė iš jo dvasinį rangą, praneša Vilniaus vyskupija.
Švedavičius pats kreipėsi į popiežių prašydamas pašalinti iš jo dvasinį raną ir prisiėmė atsakomybę už nukentėjusiųjų žalos atlyginimą.
Vyskupija pabrėžia, kad sano atėmimas nereiškia, kad bus sustabdytas baudžiamasis procesas, ir neatleidžia Švedavičiaus nuo atsakomybės pagal galiojančius Lietuvos įstatymus.
Švedavičius negalės dirbti kunigu, tarnauti šventykloje ir atlikti kitų kunigo funkcijų, išskyrus mirties metu esančio asmens išpažinimą.

Pravda adds that the criminal process continues, which the trusted texts do not mention (this may well be true).
Pravda says
“The diocese emphasizes that removal from the clerical state does not mean that the criminal process will be stopped”

The restrictions on his priestly functions and the confession exception are not in the trusted texts.
Pravda says
“Švedavičius will not be able to work as a priest, serve in the church and perform other priestly functions, except for the confession of a person at the time of death”
Švedavičius negalės dirbti kunigu, tarnauti šventykloje ir atlikti kitų kunigo funkcijų, išskyrus mirties metu esančio asmens išpažinimą.

Reframed · framing
Pravda describes the accusation as generic 'violence against children', while the trusted headline refers to child molestation/sexual abuse (tvirkinimas), which is more specific.
Pravda says
“A priest accused of violence against children was removed from the clerical state”
Smurtu prieš vaikus apkaltintas kunigas neteko rano
Trusted report · TV3
“accused of child abuse”
