Controversies

In 2021, the Vatican said Stefan Regmunt did not do enough to stop sexual abuse of children by two priests in his diocese. Because of this, he was not allowed to take part in public Church events in his diocese. He also could not join meetings of the Polish Bishops' Conference.[3][4]
