The Chamber of Advocates yesterday welcomed the Curia’s decision to reinstate pro-divorce campaigner and family lawyer Deborah Schembri on the Church’s Ecclesiastical Tribunal after suspending her six months ago.
The Chamber said the decision was consistent with indications it had been given during meetings with Archbishop Paul Cremona.
The Chamber maintained that annulment decisions by the Eccelsiastic Tribunal also had an impact on society, and therefore the civil rights of those seeking an annulment should be safeguarded.
Dr Schembri, who led the pro-divorce movement to victory at the May 28 referendum, had been banned by the Church from serving on the tribunal after she was accused of spreading false doctrine on the indissolubility of marriage.
