(OSV News) — A civil court in Lorient in France’s Brittany region has ruled that a French religious congregation, Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet — a former high-ranking Vatican official — and two Vatican-appointed investigators committed “serious misconduct” in expelling Sabine Baudin de la Valette, whose religious name was Sister Marie Ferréol, from her own community “without cause” after 34 years of consecrated life.

The religious sister experienced an expulsion described by the court as “infamous and vexatious,” without having committed “the slightest offense,” and on the basis of “non-established motives,” adding she was “sent back to lay life without mercy.” The ruling was made public April 3.
