From CRUX:
In a decision confirmed by Pope Francis and thus without the possibility of appeal, the Vatican has found an Austrian priest who leads a pontifically recognized association guilty of psychological and spiritual abuse and imposed a series of punishments, including a ten-year ban on ministry.
The unusually sweeping penalties are considered a reflection of the gravity of the offenses with which Sigl had been charged. Witnesses, mostly ex-members of the Family of Mary, reported that Sigl had engaged in mental manipulation, emotional blackmail, encouraging a “blind and unconditional cult,” undermining personal consciences, using spurious theological and spiritual claims to boost his own authority and control, and blurring the boundaries between spiritual and administrative roles.
