It was the first time since the creation of the Vatican City State in 1929 that a cardinal has been brought to trial by a civil court on penal charges in the Vatican. Pope Francis had issued a motu proprio, or decree, earlier this year that made it possible for cardinals and bishops to stand trial before a civil tribunal in the Vatican, from which they previously had immunity.
