Now, Martínez has published an open letter to Francis. His main points:
• In 2015, an exhaustive investigation by the CDF concluded that Martínez was innocent.
• A Bizkaia court then sentenced Martínez to 11 years in prison, a sentence which the Spanish Supreme Court reduced to 2 years.
• In August 2022, a second canonical trial was opened after Francis participated in a television programme with Martínez’ accuser, Juan Cuatrecasas.
• Illegal means were used in this trial such as the retroactive application of a criminal law, leaks to the press, or Francis receiving one Cuatrecasas but not Martínez.
• Martínez’ appeals were answered only partially or not at all.
• The Apostolic Signatura has dismissed Martínez’ lawyers.
• Martínez is the world’s only layman to be judged retroactively by the Church for an abuse accusation.
• The latest news is that the sentence is known before the trial begins: Martínez’ expulsion from the Opus Dei [to which he doesn't belong anyway after Francis’ crusade against the Personal Prelature].
• The presumed slanderer will be “compensated” with lots of money.
