The Vatican has stripped the former papal envoy to the Dominican Republic of his diplomatic immunity, opening the way for him to be extradited to face sex abuse allegations in the country.
The Polish priest Jozef Wesolowski was found guilty of sexually abusing young Dominican boys by the Vatican in June.
Correspondents say the Caribbean state was unhappy at his immediate recalling by the Church when the claims surfaced.
He is the most senior Vatican official to be investigated for sex abuse.
Pope Francis has pledged a crackdown on clerics and employees of the Church who exploit minors, comparing their actions to a "satanic mass".
Wesolowski had served as ambassador to the Dominican Republic for five years.
