It was Cardinal Gerhard Müller, then-prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , who pointed out such communication errors in his 2015 decree that reiterated the 1951 decision. Demetriou claimed that Cabading lied under oath, or committed perjury, when he claimed in a separate case that the 1951 decree existed. This perjury complaintThe other case, the one that brought about the perjury complaint, was an alleged violation of a 1930s law against “offending religious feelings.
David said the apostolic delegate to the Philippines at that time, Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, did not “authorize the apostolic administrator to issue a document from the Curia” as the 1951 decree instructed. The six-member commission, in particular, “issued its own decree signed by the members, dated April 11, 1951, bearing the basic content of the document from Rome, but without mentioning that the decision had come from Rome, that it had been approved by the Pope, and that it was final and definitive.”
