The Transylvanian Franciscan Order stands by the monk, but would look around the house of the Szent Ferenc Foundation in Déva, after one of the educators was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

It was there that the basic verdict was handed down in the case of child abuse in the orphanage, and monk Csaba Böjte called on his colleagues to report any abnormalities in the foundation's institutions to him immediately.

It turned out today that the Transylvanian Franciscan Order Province will launch an internal investigation at the St. Francis Foundation in Déva, draw the consequences and continue its work with even greater caution - this was announced by Erik Urbán, the Transylvanian Province Superior of the Franciscan Order, to Romkat.ro .

Erik Urbán told the Roman Catholic news portal that he regularly consulted with brother Csaba Böjte about the case, and that they fully complied with the state laws, the investigators during the police investigation, and the lawyer during the court phase, and submitted to the necessary procedure.

"The misdeeds of a single, sufficiently unconvinced criminal cannot nullify all the good deeds of every day of thirty years, the sacrificial work of many innocent, selfless people, the entire protective net that has been built

- said Erik Urban.

As is known, an educator of the Szent Ferenc Foundation in Déva, who raped and abused children for ten years in the institutions of the foundation led by the Franciscan monk, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Főtér wrote about the case .
