Controversies
changeIn 2020, the media reported that Bishop Napierała did not start church investigations against two priests accused of sexual abuse. Reporters sent evidence to the Archbishop of Poznań and the Vatican, using the rules of Vos estis lux mundi. Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki of Poznań started the investigation.

The Vatican suggested that he make a donation to the St. Joseph Foundation and not participate in public events.[3][4][5][6]
